This woodcut, by Venetian artist Cesare Vecellio, is a page from his book *Corona delle Nobili et Virtuose Donne* (Crown of Noble and Virtuous Women), published in 1601. This page depicts a decorative design featuring intertwined floral motifs, animals, and figures. The intricate details, executed in a delicate black and white, are characteristic of Vecellio’s work. The design, likely intended for embroidery, was a popular form of decorative art during the Renaissance period. This page from the book is a testament to Vecellio’s talent and the lasting influence of his work.
