Inspiring

I found this image on bibliodyssey, illustrations of the Duchess of Bavaria's jewels, and what I find so inspiring about them is that there is so much time put into these but also so much of the artist's hand. The illustrations are almost all asymmetrical, oddly composed, like a drawing started in one corner without a clear plan. They are also full of decorative scrolls, animals, and other elements which I find irresistible.
