"Huomo di Biarma" is a woodcut print by Christoph Krieger dating back to 1598. The print depicts a man, likely a Biarmian, clad in fur clothing and holding a bow and arrow. The man is shown standing on snowshoes, suggesting a depiction of a nomadic hunter. The image is framed by ornate, decorative elements, characteristic of the artistic style of the period. This artwork provides valuable insight into 16th-century European perceptions of the people and cultures of the north.
