Peter Aubry's "Letter X" (1630), a detailed engraving, exemplifies the artistic flourishes of the Baroque period. The elaborate letterform is adorned with five grotesque masks, each with unique expressions and embellishments. This intricate composition, typical of Aubry's work, would have served as a decorative element in printed matter, reflecting the trend of incorporating artistic designs into everyday objects.
