This intricate engraving, "Letter C," is a prime example of the work of French artist Peter Aubry, a master of the decorative arts. Created in 1630, it showcases an elaborate, curvilinear form that defines the letter "C," embellished with ornate, flowing scrolls and five grotesque faces. Aubry's design is a testament to the flourishing decorative styles of the 17th century, showcasing a blend of classical and fantastical elements, characteristic of the Baroque period.
