Omlijsting met een langwerpige cartouche met ronde zijkanten middenboven 1593

This elaborate engraved design by Theodor de Bry, created in 1593, features a decorative border filled with fantastical figures and intricate ornament. The central space is reserved for a coat of arms, indicating its intended use as a heraldic design. De Bry was a master of engraving, known for his detailed and expressive illustrations, making this piece a prime example of his skill. The image is filled with symbolic details, from the putti to the fantastical sea creatures, revealing a fascination with allegory and the decorative arts common in the late 16th century.
