"Plate Ten, from A New Book of Ornaments" (1704) by Simon Gribelin II is a fine example of Baroque engraving. The intricate design features a central oval with a scene of three figures within a decorative frame. This scene is surrounded by elaborate scrollwork and floral motifs, culminating in a grotesque mask at the bottom. This print, a testament to Gribelin's mastery, exemplifies the decorative and symbolic elements of the Baroque era, offering a glimpse into the intricate world of 18th-century design.
