Hoog geplaatste Venetiaanse dame 1598

Christoph Krieger’s 1598 engraving, "Hoog geplaatste Venetiaanse dame", depicts a high-ranking Venetian woman in elegant attire. The figure, standing in profile, is adorned with a flowing gown, a lavishly patterned veil, and a fan held delicately in her hand. The engraving is framed by ornate decorative borders, adding to the sense of refinement and elegance. The detailed depiction of the woman's clothing and accessories captures the fashion of the late 16th century and offers a glimpse into the lives of Venetian society.
