Festoon: 9. Artist: Artus Quellinus 1609–1668 engraver?. Baroque style. Subject: festoons, garlands, pomegranates, apples, artichoke Cynara scolymus, other fruits; ornamental designs and decoration patterns. Netherlandish, French graphics influence. Date: ca. 1650. Medium/format: album. Dimensions: height 9.8 cm, width 21.8 cm., A horizontal decorative garland made of a dense cluster of fruit and leaves spans the center of the image, with two hanging bunches at each end. The fruits include round, apple-like shapes, elongated forms, and textured, cone-like items, all rendered in fine, hatched black ink lines on a light beige background. Leaves of various sizes and shapes intermix with the fruit, some curling or overlapping, and small berry clusters appear near the ends. The shading is detailed with cross-hatching and stippling, creating darker shadowed areas beneath and between the fruit and lighter highlights on curved surfaces. Overall colors visible are black linework and shading on a pale beige or off-white paper.
