Udkast til kamindekoration is a 1650 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a blank oval shape framed like a mirror, surrounded by fancy gold scrollwork and dark red panels. The top has a crown and small decorative scenes in the corners, like a bird in a cage and a vase of flowers. The edges look worn, with some paint chipping away, especially around the crown and the sides. The empty oval might have once held a portrait or a scene, now missing. The gold details look like they were meant to catch the light, but the paint is faded in spots. If you like this style, check out *chiaroscuro* next.
