François Desprez's "Vrouw met rond hoofddeksel" is a black and white woodcut depicting a woman carrying a sack of grain on her head. Created in 1562, the piece showcases a single figure in a detailed rendering of clothing and a seemingly mundane activity. This style was popular during the Renaissance, with woodcuts like this often appearing in pamphlets and books, offering a glimpse into everyday life of the time.
