This print is part of a book., printmaker: Jost Amman, after design by Wenzel Jamnitzer, Nuremberg, 1568, Bavaria, paper, etching, height 262 mm x width 180 mm, Two tall pointed cone-like forms face each other against a pale textured background, each surface covered in a repeating pattern of small geometric facets with hatched shading; the left form sits on a rectangular base and has layered, spiraling rows of facets creating a scalloped appearance, while the right form rises from a simple support structure with visible legs and a platform, its facets arranged in tighter, more uniform rows; fine stippling and crosshatching define shadows and contours, and the entire scene has the look of a precise ink drawing on aged paper.
