Concubina Bolognese 1598

"Concubina Bolognese" is a woodcut print by Christoph Krieger created in 1598. The print depicts a woman in a long, flowing dress and a head covering, standing with her hands clasped in front of her. It is a small, finely detailed portrait, characteristic of woodcut printing, and likely intended for an illustrated book or pamphlet, possibly a historical text about Bologna or Italy. The image's small size and ornate frame suggest a focus on detail and quality despite its likely purpose as a mass-produced print.
