Principio delle maniche a comeo 1598

Christoph Krieger's "Principio delle Maniche a Comeo" (1598) is a woodcut illustration depicting two men in conversation. The detailed rendering of their clothing, particularly the elaborate sleeves, is a characteristic of fashion illustrations of the period. The intricate decorative border surrounding the figures adds to the overall elegance of the work. This small-scale artwork, measuring 167 mm in height and 125 mm in width, offers valuable insights into the visual culture and fashion trends of late 16th century Europe.
