Guirlande met één ronde gespikkelde en twee langwerpige vruchten 1596 - 1633

This anonymous 17th century print from the Netherlands is a beautifully detailed depiction of a floral motif. The artwork is characterized by its vibrant colors, intricate floral details, and dynamic composition. The artist utilizes a symmetrical arrangement with two, almost identical, floral designs on either side of a central floral bouquet, each encompassing two elongated and one round fruit. The stylized and fantastical elements of the composition are a hallmark of the "grotesque" style popular in the Netherlands during the 16th and 17th centuries, also known as "maniérisme."
