Letter M in een omlijsting van bloemen, insecten en vogels 1635 - 1694

This 17th-century engraving by Dutch artist Dirck de Bray depicts the letter "M" framed by a decorative wreath of flowers, insects, and birds. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate floral patterns, delicate insects, and lifelike birds. This small-scale work, measuring just 57 mm by 54 mm, is a prime example of the decorative engraving style prevalent in the Netherlands during this period. It likely served as a decorative element for a book or other printed material.
