Moresken en arabesken c. 1516 - 1571

"Moresken en arabesken" is a woodcut print from the 16th century by an anonymous artist. The design, featuring intricate floral patterns and geometric motifs, is characteristic of "arabesque" style popular in Europe during this period. The artist's use of black and white creates a striking contrast, highlighting the delicate details of the design. This type of ornament was frequently used in decorative arts like furniture, textiles, and architecture. The small size of the print suggests it may have been part of a larger series of designs.
