This woodcut print by Nicolò Zoppino, a Venetian printer active in the early 16th century, marks the completion of a collection of printed designs. The image depicts a seated figure in a crown, likely representing a king or authority figure, receiving a kneeling figure. This image is part of an "Esemplario di lavori" or book of designs, often intended for use by artisans for inspiration. This small-scale print, created in 1529, is a testament to the importance of printed design books in the dissemination of artistic ideas during the Italian Renaissance.
