Licht gebogen fries, aan elk uiteinde een halve vaas op een sokkel 1516 - 1556

This anonymous, sixteenth-century, Dutch print from the Rijksmuseum, titled "Licht gebogen fries, aan elk uiteinde een halve vaas op een sokkel," is a detailed and intricate design. It features a central scene of a seated, bearded male figure being handed a dish by a male figure with the body of a man and the legs and horns of a goat. Both figures are nude and surrounded by ornate architectural elements, including a series of vases and draped fabric. Two figures, one on either side, flank the central scene. Each is adorned with a crown and stands alongside a mythical bird and a swan. The figures stand on sculpted bases and are depicted with their bodies bare. The detailed depiction of classical mythology and ornamentation make this print a fine example of Renaissance art.
