This anonymous 16th-century print, "Ronde cartouche met rolwerk en twee maskers," is a striking example of Renaissance decorative art. The piece features a circular cartouche framed by intricate scrollwork and two grotesque masks, characteristic of the period's fascination with classical motifs. The inscription within the cartouche, which details the pronunciation of certain letters in the Hungarian language, suggests that this print may have been intended as a teaching tool or a decorative element for a scholarly manuscript. The use of black and white ink on paper highlights the fine detail of the artwork, showcasing the artist's skillful hand.
