Nobile ornata 1598

"Nobile ornata" is a 1598 woodcut by Christoph Krieger depicting a woman in ornate clothing. The woman stands in a richly-decorated frame. The ornate, detailed design of the woman's clothing is emphasized through the technique of cross-hatching, which is common in woodcut prints. The image is likely a depiction of nobility or a noblewoman, as indicated by the title, and is a fine example of the woodcut printing style.
