This fragment of a playing card, likely from a deck created in the 15th or 16th century, features a stylized oak tree bearing acorns. The artist, whose identity is unknown, utilized a simple black ink line drawing to create the image. The design of the card reflects the popular use of botanical and natural motifs in playing card imagery during this period. This fragment offers a glimpse into the evolution of playing card design, which transitioned from simple illustrations to more complex and decorative motifs as printing techniques advanced.
