This woodcut print, from a 1532 book by German artist Peter Quentel, features a series of ornamental designs. The repeating motifs of grotesque creatures and swirling foliage are characteristic of the Renaissance style, which embraced classical influences. This intricate design likely served as inspiration for artisans, particularly those in the fields of metalwork, textiles, and furniture. The use of bold black and white further highlights the pattern's detail.
