"Pizzicamorti" is a woodcut by Christoph Krieger from 1598. The artwork depicts a man holding a bundle of sticks, likely representing a profession related to fire or wood. The detail of the man's clothing and the ornate frame suggest a possible connection to a book or printed material. The woodcut is a striking example of the technical skill of 16th-century printmaking, and it offers a glimpse into the lives of common people during that period.
