Letter N c. 1645 - 1650

This intricately detailed engraving, "Letter N", was created by the Dutch artist Jeremias Falck in the mid-17th century. The artwork is a prime example of ornamental engraving, which was popular during the Baroque period. The letter N is transformed into a decorative motif, adorned with swirling scrolls, cherubic figures, and grotesque heads, all meticulously rendered in fine lines. Falck's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and volume, further enhancing the intricate design of this captivating alphabet.
