Jacob Binck's "Vertical Panel with a Half-Length Female with Leaves as Arms" (1520 - 1561) is a small woodcut print depicting a female figure, possibly a nymph, with elaborate foliage as her arms and legs. The figure's upper torso is nude, and she is wearing a crown. The print is characterized by a rich black and white contrast and intricate details. The overall design suggests a fantastical and decorative approach to the human form and nature, highlighting the artist's interest in ornamental design, a popular trend in the sixteenth century.
