This small, detailed engraving by the Monogrammist AL (16th century) depicts a capital, or uppermost part, of a column adorned with intricate foliage motifs. The design features a ram's head at its center, a common decorative element in 16th-century European art. The artist's use of cross-hatching and fine lines adds a sense of depth and texture to the design, typical of the period. The engraving, measuring just 32 mm by 40 mm, showcases the Monogrammist's mastery of minute detail and appreciation for classical architectural ornament. The work likely served as a model for architects and craftsmen during the Renaissance era.
