This engraving by Jacques Androuet Du Cerceau, dating back to 1565-1578, showcases a detailed design for furniture. The intricate framework features grotesque figures and mythical creatures, characteristic of the Mannerist style popular in 16th century France. This design, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the decorative tastes of the era, where the interplay of classical and fantastical elements was highly prized.
