"In Venetia & altrove" (In Venice and elsewhere) is a 1598 woodcut by Christoph Krieger, depicting a man in elaborate Venetian costume. The figure stands in a simple pose, hands clasped, with his clothing the focal point. The intricate details of the man’s clothing, particularly the patterned skirt and puffed sleeves, highlight the fashion trends of the time and make the image appealing for those interested in historical dress. The engraving is framed by a decorative border that adds to the overall aesthetic and historical significance of the work. Krieger's work is a testament to the artistic and fashion sensibilities of the late 16th century.
