This is a 16th century print by German artist Theodor de Bry, depicting a nude female figure standing on a bowl of fruit, a common motif in Renaissance art. The woman's body is realistically rendered and adorned with elaborate ornamentation, including a feathered headdress and a decorative border. De Bry's print is an example of the decorative style of the period, and likely served as an "Ornament for Knife Handle." This small-scale art piece exemplifies the craftsmanship of a skilled Renaissance printmaker.
