Cosses de pois Ornament

Balthazar Moncornet, 1634

The Rijksmuseum recently acquired 150 prints collected by M.H. and L.B. (Wiet) Gans, renowned connoisseurs of antique silverware. Because of their rarity and virtuoso execution, these works represent a key addition to the collection of ornament prints. This certainly applies to the sheets in the so-called cosses de pois (peapod) style, such as this stylized, almost abstract bouquet.
