This is the cover of an illustrated book by Hendrick Goltzius, a prominent Dutch artist known for his mastery of printmaking. The book, possibly dated between 1589 and 1728, features illustrations of Ovid's "Metamorphoses", a collection of Roman mythology tales. The marbled cover, a decorative technique using paint and water, adds a touch of elegance to this important artistic publication. The book is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a renowned museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and is a testament to Goltzius's artistic legacy in the world of printmaking.
