Contadina 1598

Christoph Krieger's 1598 woodcut "Contadina" depicts a peasant woman in a detailed, ornate costume. The woman, standing with a basket in her hand, is dressed in a full skirt, a bodice, and a wide-brimmed hat adorned with a feather. The artwork's intricate details and the inclusion of the title within the composition highlight the focus on clothing and the social strata of the time. The woodcut is a prime example of the artist's work in portraying the social conditions of the 16th century.
