Teigwerk names ornamental forms that were widespread in Europe between 1590 and 1680 and were mainly used for framing decorations (" cartouches " ) in architecture, graphics and painting. Their style is closely related and is sometimes equated with the largely contemporary one auricular style . main motives are soft deliquescent modeled waves, curls and "doughy" scrolls , the anthropomorphic may have details. Early attempts at this from the scrollwork to more powerful and less fragmented forms developed design way has one such in the Italian graphics in 1600 (. B . Agostino Carracci ), but the Dutch master sheets were more pronounced and powerful , for example by Bartholomäus Spranger or Carel van Mander . Lucas Kilian was a German representative of this direction.

From the middle of the 17th century, the voluminous, lobed detail forms of this decorative style were replaced by foliage elements made from more delicate acanthus leaves .
