This woodcut print, a page from a pattern book by Peter Quentel, showcases intricate decorative borders, typical of the 16th century. The design features a variety of motifs, including geometric patterns, floral scrolls, and stylized foliage, which were widely used in architecture, textiles, and other decorative arts of the period. The work, created in 1544, exemplifies the flourishing of ornamental design in the Renaissance and offers valuable insight into the artistic tastes and sensibilities of the era.
