Large Pendant, Victory Flanked by Two Herms at Centre is a 1596 ink by Daniel Mignot, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a fancy chandelier with lots of swirls and lights. At the top, a tall figure stands holding a wreath. Around it, smaller figures and strange shapes hang like ornaments. The whole thing looks heavy and detailed, with lots of tiny lines. The tiny figures at the sides look like mythical creatures with wings. The main figure at the top is holding a wreath, which often means victory. This style was popular in the 1500s. Check out how this was made using engraving.
