EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a 15th-century playing card featuring a wild woman and unicorn. Created by the renowned Master ES, this engraving is a testament to his artistic skill and attention to detail. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Germany during the fifteenth century. The composition depicts a female figure standing gracefully alongside a majestic unicorn, both surrounded by intricate patterns and delicate lines. The mythical beast symbolizes purity and grace, while the wild woman represents untamed nature. Together, they create an intriguing juxtaposition that sparks our imagination. Master ES's mastery of engraving techniques is evident in every stroke of this artwork. The second state of this playing card reveals his meticulous craftsmanship as he brings life to these mythological creatures on paper. Now housed within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by Master ES. It invites viewers to appreciate not only his technical prowess but also the stories and symbolism embedded within each element of his work. As we admire this piece from Heritage Images without any commercial intent, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and connect us with our past through its beauty and storytelling abilities.
