Halve ovale cartouche met rolwerk 1590

This anonymous 16th-century engraving entitled "Halve ovale cartouche met rolwerk" depicts a heraldic design featuring a shield, a crown, and ornate scrollwork. The shield itself displays five roundels, a common symbol in heraldry, perhaps representing specific family members or achievements. The surrounding scrollwork, known as "rolwerk," is a popular decorative style of the period that is commonly associated with the Mannerist movement. The overall design is a fine example of the intricacy and symbolism found in Renaissance-era heraldic imagery.
