This page is a verso, or back side, from the third volume of *Corona delle Nobile et Virtuose Donne*, a 1620 publication attributed to the Italian Renaissance artist Cesare Vecellio. Vecellio was a prolific artist and writer, known for his detailed engravings and illustrations of costumes. This page, with its elaborate ornamental capital "S", is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of 17th-century printing practices. The text on the page is a dedication, highlighting the important role of patronage in the arts during this period. This single sheet is a small but significant fragment of a larger work that captures the visual and cultural trends of the early 17th century in Italy.
