Schotse vrouw gekleed in dierenhuiden 1562

François Desprez's 1562 engraving "Schotse vrouw gekleed in dierenhuiden" depicts a woman wearing animal skins, a common sight in 16th-century Scotland. The woman is shown standing in a landscape, with the text "La faunage d'Escoffe" below, which means "the fauna of Scotland." This work is an example of the use of engravings as a means of documenting and illustrating different cultures. The image is striking in its simplicity, relying on line and shadow to create a convincing depiction of the woman and her surroundings. "Schotse vrouw gekleed in dierenhuiden" is a valuable piece of art for historians studying fashion and everyday life in 16th-century Scotland.
