About the work
This playfully grotesque ornament represents a candalabra-like concoction that is reflected on a vertical axis, with slight differences in the fantastic creatures on either side. The “64” scratched into the plate at lower left marks this impression as a later one, published in a compiled edition of Hopfer’s prints in 1684.
