Answer 1

The correct answer is A. rendered in a Baroque manner.

The Screen with the Siege of Belgrade and hunting scene is a folding screen made in Mexico in the early 18th century. It is an example of the Baroque style, which was a highly ornate and decorative style that was popular in Europe from the late 16th to the early 18th century. The screen features a combination of indigenous American and European techniques and styles, which is characteristic of the Baroque period. The indigenous American inlay techniques, such as the use of feathers and shells, were used in harmony with the European scene, which depicts a military siege and a hunting scene.
