Rechthoekige cartouche met rolwerk 1598

This is a small, anonymous, rectangular cartouche (1598) with an intricate, stylized frame with two stylized scrolls and a small, stylized, floral motif below it. It contains the inscription “Io. Fayanus M.L. describebat.” The design may be a decorative detail from a larger work or a map, which was likely part of a collection of prints. This small detail helps us understand the artistic trends in the late 16th century and the intricate detailing of the period.
