Ovaal met witte moresken en arabesken op een zwart fond c. 1516 - 1571

This anonymous woodcut, "Ovaal met witte moresken en arabesken op een zwart fond", showcases an intricate design of interlacing arabesques and moresques, a popular decorative motif during the 16th century. The black and white composition creates a striking contrast against the off-white background, reminiscent of the Renaissance period's renewed interest in classical art. The oval shape and delicate floral patterns suggest a decorative purpose, potentially as a book illustration or design inspiration.
