Strapwork Pendant with Two Eagles as Earringsat Left and Right is a 1584 ink by Daniel Mignot, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a fancy, ornate pendant hanging from a chain. It’s packed with swirling lines, leaves, and flowers in black and white. Two earrings shaped like eagles dangle from the sides, each holding a small ball. The pendant looks like it’s made of metal, with tiny details carved in. The artist used lines to create shadows and depth, making it pop. Next, check out the technique: engraving to see how this was made.
