Reproductie van een prent van een rand met grotesken door Johannes of Lucas van Doetechum before 1880

This reproduction of a print from a book of grotesque borders was made before 1880, and is attributed to either Johannes or Lucas van Doetechum. The frame design includes a dense composition of scrolling patterns, flowers, and other decorative elements. This is a classic example of the grotesque style which became very popular in the 16th century. It was often used as a decorative element in architecture, furniture, and books. The style was characterized by its fantastical and whimsical nature and its use of distorted, human-like figures.
