This print contains a design for a frieze with an pattern of intertwined branches, executed in white on a dark hatched ground. The pattern could be extended by mirroring the design along the vertical axis. This print relates closely to a group of engravings with moresque patterns that are generally attributed to a Venetian printmaker referred to as "Master F". Differences in execution suggest that more than one artist was involved in their making.
