This small, delicately drawn title page, created by Italian artist Giuseppe Maria Mitelli, is a testament to the artistry of intaglio engraving. Dating back to the mid-17th century, it features a decorative frame composed of a series of repeated motifs, including stylized eyes, noses, mouths, and ears, surrounding the artist's name and the word "Intaglio". The meticulous detail and intricate composition are characteristic of Mitelli's work, highlighting his mastery of this technique. The title page, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a captivating example of the artistic precision and ornamental beauty inherent in intaglio engraving.
