Peervormig ornament met grotesken before 1587

"Peervormig ornament met grotesken" is an engraving by Dutch artist Abraham de Bruyn, created before his death in 1587. This detailed design, part of a larger series of ornamental prints, showcases a central figure surrounded by grotesques and ornate details. The print's intricate details, such as the grotesques and the pear-shaped frame, highlight the style popular in the late 16th century, characterized by imaginative and elaborate decorations. This piece, held in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of de Bruyn's skill in creating visually rich and complex ornamental designs.
