A Dutch auction catalogue issued in Amsterdam in 1774 by the publisher J. Smit, listing paintings by Dutch masters and a cabinet of drawings and prints by Italian, French, English, Brabantine and Dutch artists. The single picture is a printed ornamental headpiece of black fleurons, scrolls, fan-shaped rays and tassels set in a symmetrical arrangement. A designer could take from it a symmetrical border motif built from rays, scrolls and hanging tassels, typical of eighteenth-century printed ornament.
