Fireplaces and Other Interior Decorations is a 1650 ink by Jean Lepautre, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows fancy fireplaces and walls packed with carvings. Two people stand near one fireplace, talking. The carvings include statues, swirls, and small scenes. The whole thing looks heavy and detailed, like a palace. The artist used a sharp tool to scratch lines into metal for this print. That’s called etching. It lets them make lots of copies with the same look. Want to see more? Check out etching to learn how it works.
