This anonymous 15th-century playing card depicts a stylized figure, likely a "knave" or "jack," in a simple, yet detailed, black-and-white style. The figure, with a distinctive hat, stands next to a stylized flower, typical of early card designs. The artwork provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of playing cards and their visual evolution during the medieval period.
