Album containing 75 Drawings for Garden Trellises & Parterres 1605 - 1640

This drawing from Jörg Rurfinger's *Album containing 75 Drawings for Garden Trellises & Parterres* (1605–40) is a design for a garden trellis or parterre, featuring a symmetrical pattern of geometric shapes and a central motif of a star. The artist used a combination of ink and watercolor to depict the design, which is framed by a green border. Rurfinger's album of design drawings served as a visual encyclopedia of garden and architectural elements, providing inspiration for gardeners and architects during the early modern period.
