Cartouche met mascaron 1570

This anonymous engraving from 1570, titled "Cartouche met mascaron," is a prime example of the intricate detail and decorative flourishes characteristic of Renaissance art. The central cartouche, framed by elaborate scrollwork, features the inscription "MONASTERII ENSIS ET OS: NABVRGENSIS EPISCOPATV" and displays a grotesque mask, a common motif in Renaissance ornament. The artwork's small dimensions, 183 mm in height and 134 mm in width, suggest it may have been part of a larger series or collection. The detailed rendering and the inscription hint at its possible connection to a historical event or institution.
