This anonymous woodcut from 1520 depicts the initial letter "Q" in a decorative, highly stylized, and intricate pattern. The letter is framed within a square border and surrounded by foliage and vines that intertwine to form a complex design. This woodcut is a prime example of the artistic style known as "illuminated manuscript" art, where intricate patterns were used to decorate letters and pages in books. The artwork is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection.
