"Ornamental design with grotesques" is a 1581 engraving by Bernhard Zan, a German artist whose career spanned a single year. Zan's design features five intricate teardrop-shaped ornaments. The delicate line work is a hallmark of engravings, and the grotesque motifs are characteristic of the Mannerist style. The artwork is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
