This woodcut, created by Giovanni Ostaus in 1567, showcases a scene of people gathering in a wooded landscape. It is a page from a larger book titled *La Vera Perfettione del Disegno di varie sorti di recami*. Ostaus, a prominent Italian artist known for his decorative engravings, captures the details of the natural environment and the figures in intricate detail. The scene is a testament to his skill and offers a glimpse into the visual culture of 16th-century Italy. The woodcut, part of a collection housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a prime example of early modern graphic art.
