"Sposa di Sassonia" is a woodcut print from 1598 by Christoph Krieger. This artwork depicts a woman, possibly a noblewoman, in an elaborate dress and adorned with jewelry. The print is framed by ornate borders and has a detailed, almost photographic, quality. The image would have been produced for a book, likely a history of the region or a family genealogy, due to its small size and the label "Sposa di Sassonia" indicating it is a "Bride of Saxony." Woodcut prints like this were used for various purposes, including illustration, decoration, and propaganda.
