This 16th-century drawing, attributed to an anonymous artist, is a design for a mirror. The elaborate frame features a central coat of arms with three mountains, possibly representing the Monti family. The frame is intricately detailed with ornate scrolling foliage and decorative motifs, characteristic of the Renaissance style. This piece is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistic vision of its time.
