This anonymous 17th-century print depicts the Virgin Mary, crowned and surrounded by angels, in a style characteristic of devotional images of the time. The image, titled "Santa Maria Montis de Vicenza," is likely a representation of a venerated image of the Virgin Mary located in Vicenza, Italy. The use of simple lines and hatching creates a sense of depth and detail in the composition, typical of prints of the period. The print’s size suggests that it was intended for personal use, perhaps for devotional purposes.
