This anonymous drawing from the 16th century is a detailed study of grotesque ornamentation. Featuring a candelabra, vase with fruit, and a shield, the artwork exemplifies the intricate designs popular during the Renaissance. This particular piece is a prime example of the grotesque style, which uses fantastical and often monstrous imagery in a decorative manner. The drawing’s delicate lines and detailed rendering suggest its function as a model for decorative work.
