Fries met links en rechts het bovenlichaam van een vrouw c. 1500 - 1535

This anonymous, undated woodcut, likely dating from around the early 16th century, features a design of stylized foliage and two partial female figures on either side of a central decorative element. The intricate, symmetrical pattern is characteristic of Renaissance ornament, a style popular in the 15th and 16th centuries. The woodcut likely served as a model for decorative elements in various crafts, such as metalwork, furniture, or textiles. Its delicate and intricate detail suggests a use for small-scale objects. This small-scale woodcut is a fascinating example of how Renaissance artists used the medium to explore and disseminate ornamental designs for practical application.
