This 1598 engraving by Christoph Krieger depicts a noblewoman from Venice in a detailed and elegant fashion. The figure is shown in profile, facing away from the viewer, emphasizing the flow of her dress and the decorative elements of her attire. The intricate border surrounding the image adds to the overall sense of sophistication and refinement, characteristic of the Venetian Renaissance. The engraving's title "Antiche nobili di Venetia" ("Ancient Nobility of Venice") suggests a focus on historical costume and the grandeur of Venetian society.
