Masker met acht eikels in het haar c. 1600 - 1650

"Masker met acht eikels in het haar" is an engraving by Frans Huys, depicting a grotesque mask surrounded by foliage and acorns. Created sometime between 1600 and 1650, the artwork exemplifies the detailed and often whimsical nature of Northern Renaissance decorative art. The use of cross-hatching and intricate details in the engraving create a sense of depth and realism. This work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
