Crest

About this work

This engraving features a crest with a man shooting a bow and arrow at the top. The man is surrounded by ornate, curved designs that fill the space below him. At the bottom of the crest, a dog is depicted in a similar style. The crest is detailed with cross-hatching, a technique that creates shading and texture through closely spaced parallel lines. This technique adds depth and visual interest to the engraving. The engraving is a fine example of Renaissance art. To explore more works from this period, look into the Renaissance movement.
