This woodcut illustration by Nicolò Zoppino, known as "Convivio delle Belle Donne, page 22 (verso)", dates back to 1532. It depicts a scene with a crowned figure seated on a throne, holding a scepter, while a kneeling figure presents them with a dish. This artwork, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, is a fine example of the woodcut style, a popular printing technique during the Renaissance. It showcases the detail and artistry prevalent in this era, demonstrating Zoppino's skill in capturing both figures and landscape elements within a small format.
