This is a title vignette, also known as a printer's mark, from an anonymous artist likely created between 1646 and 1740. The image depicts a woman, possibly the Virgin Mary, seated in a garden with a building in the background. It is a woodcut engraving and was intended for a book titled *Bybels Lusthof*. This title vignette exemplifies the artistry of printing in the 17th and 18th centuries and provides insight into the design and techniques used to enhance the aesthetic appeal of early printed materials.
