Schrijfvoorbeeld: Niet isser datmen ooit soo seer (...) 1660 - 1751

This calligraphic artwork, "Schrijfvoorbeeld: Niet isser datmen ooit soo seer (...)", was created by Dutch artist Bastiaan Boers between 1660 and 1751. The piece features intricate script, demonstrating Boers' mastery of penmanship. The text, composed in Dutch, appears to be a proverb or a line from a poem, showcasing the art of elegant handwriting with its emphasis on flourishes and ornate letter forms.
