Design for a Title Page 1610 - 1675

This elaborate design by Flemish artist Abraham van Diepenbeeck, dating from 1610 to 1675, is a preparatory drawing for a title page. It features a central bust framed by a wreath and surrounded by cherubs, angels, and allegorical figures. The artwork, in pen and brown ink with gray wash, showcases Diepenbeeck's masterful use of line and shading to create a sense of depth and volume. It’s a great example of the intricate detail and symbolic imagery characteristic of Baroque-era art.
