Drie friezen met moresken, in het onderste bevindt zich een mascaron 1550 - 1580

This anonymous drawing from the 16th century, titled "Drie friezen met moresken, in het onderste bevindt zich een mascaron," depicts three decorative friezes composed of intricate interlacing patterns. These designs, known as "moresques," were popular during the Renaissance, reflecting the renewed interest in Islamic art and architecture. The bottom frieze features a "mascaron," a decorative element depicting a grotesque or human face, adding a unique character to the design. This drawing, now held at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the mastery of ornamental design during this period.
