This woodcut print is a page from Cesare Vecellio's *Corona delle Nobili et Virtuose Donne*, a collection of illustrated biographies of noble and virtuous women published in 1601. This page features a woodcut print of a fox holding a woman's head, which is framed with a decorative border. Vecellio was an Italian painter and engraver, and this print is a fine example of his artistic skill. The woodcut's detailed rendering and the accompanying text highlight the theme of wit and intelligence that Vecellio often employed.
