Letter S c. 1645 - 1650

This elaborate etching of the letter "S" was created by the Dutch artist Jeremias Falck between 1645 and 1650. Falck was known for his intricate and detailed engravings, often depicting decorative elements such as letterforms, which were popular for their use in book illustrations and decorative arts. The "S" is rendered with a dynamic and flowing form, reminiscent of the Baroque style, and the complex ornamentation creates a visually rich and captivating design. This work exemplifies the artistic mastery of Falck and his contributions to the field of printmaking during the 17th century.
