In het midden hangt een ovaal met een figuratieve voorstelling c. 1525 - 1594

This intricate woodcut print by Hans Sibmacher, dated c. 1525-1594, is a prime example of Renaissance ornamental design. The composition is densely packed with fantastical creatures, grotesque figures, and decorative elements. At the center, an oval frame encloses a scene of a mythological subject, while the surrounding space is filled with elaborate scrollwork, winged beasts, and draped fabrics. This detailed and imaginative design, characteristic of the period, would have been used for a variety of decorative purposes. The use of line and detail, typical of the artist's style, evokes a sense of both elegance and whimsy.
