Melchior Lorck's "Fountain with Masks" (1563) is an intricate engraving depicting a complex fountain structure. The central fountain is adorned with masks and topped with a dome. The design features a strong sense of symmetry with two trees flanking the fountain on each side, all enclosed within a frame. This work, held by the Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark, is a fine example of the artist’s keen attention to detail and his mastery of the engraving technique.
