This anonymous 17th-century print, titled "Tast", showcases an elaborate composition of entwined foliage, cherubs, and a central figure. The central figure, possibly representing "Taste", is seated within a frame formed by two intertwined trees. Surrounding this figure are playful cherubs nestled within the intertwined vines. This print is a great example of an artist's ability to create an allegorical composition using the style of grotesque, and is an example of the detailed and highly decorated work of the period.
