A 1770 Dutch auction catalogue issued in Amsterdam by Pieter Yver and Johannes Smit, listing a private collection of Flemish and Dutch paintings assembled by Herman Aarentz for prospective buyers at sale. The single picture is a small woodcut headpiece of a stylised tulip-like flower with curling stems and leaf tendrils, set within a scalloped shield-shaped border. A designer could draw on its compact symmetrical floral ornament for decorative borders, tailpieces, or vignettes on period-styled printed matter.
