Ronde cartouche met twee maskers en trossen fruit 1579 - 1580

This small, detailed engraving from 1579-1580, titled "Ronde cartouche met twee maskers en trossen fruit," features a circular cartouche surrounded by an intricate design. The cartouche contains the text "AGRI CREMONENSIS TYPVVS," likely referring to the city of Cremona in Italy. The design features two grotesque masks, one at the top and one at the bottom, and a decorative border of leaves, fruit, and scrolls, indicative of the Mannerist period. This work is a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of the anonymous artist and showcases the popularity of decorative motifs in the late Renaissance.
