This small blackwork print by Hans de Bull, dating to 1592, features a pair of intricate, symmetrical, lunar-shaped fillets, with the date 1592 at the center. The print is a fine example of the artist's mastery of blackwork, a technique that was popular in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, characterized by intricate patterns of lines and curves. This artwork is a fine example of the Renaissance period of art. The print showcases the craftsmanship and precision of the blackwork technique. De Bull's initials appear below the two shapes.
