It's an example of a genre of art that was popular in the 16th century, specifically, printmaking. The piece uses a variety of visual techniques to depict a story about the "Mirror of Vanity."

These are surrounded by a decorative border that features a coat of arms, text, and floral motifs. This intricate composition reflects the artist's dedication to detail and mastery of his craft.
