Donne attempate 1598

Christoph Krieger's 1598 woodcut *Donne attempate* depicts a woman in an elaborate dress and a veil, standing with her arms crossed. This print is a detailed example of a common motif of the Renaissance, featuring a figure of female elegance with a backdrop of elaborate decorative elements. The intricate details of the woman's dress and the ornate border around the figure are characteristic of Krieger's style. The work demonstrates the refined techniques of Renaissance woodcuts, particularly the artist's ability to render both the delicacy of the figure and the detailed ornamentation.
