Ronde cartouche met masker 1560 - 1570

This is a 16th century black and white woodcut print, created by an anonymous artist. The artwork, "Ronde cartouche met masker", is a small, intricately detailed design featuring a cartouche, a decorative frame, encircling a central mask. The ornate cartouche is composed of multiple intertwined scrolls and flourishes, while the mask features a stylized monkey face. The inscription surrounding the cartouche, in Latin, further suggests that the print was created as a decorative element within a broader printed work. The piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, serves as a fine example of printmaking during this period.
