A hunting trophy: a quiver, two arrows, two bows, a deer head, two dogs, two spears, and the head of Diana at top, from 'Ornaments or Grotesques' (Ornamenti o Grottesche) 1650 - 1656

This etching by Stefano della Bella, from his series *Ornaments or Grotesques*, features a fantastical arrangement of hunting trophies. The central motif is a deer's head with two crossed bows, a quiver of arrows, and two spears at its base. Two dogs’ heads flank the deer’s head, while the head of Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, crowns the composition. Della Bella, a leading Italian Baroque artist, was known for his intricate and imaginative designs, as seen in this work. This print exemplifies his skill in representing both realistic and fantastic elements.
