Vrouw uit Bayonne op weg naar de mis 1562

"Vrouw uit Bayonne op weg naar de mis" (Woman from Bayonne on the way to Mass) is a 1562 woodcut by François Desprez, a French artist known for his depictions of everyday life. The small-scale print, measuring only 147 mm high by 85 mm wide, depicts a woman in a simple, everyday dress and head covering, possibly walking to church. The woodcut's detailed lines and subtle shading capture the textures of her clothing and the surrounding environment, highlighting the realistic details of the time period. Desprez's work provides valuable insight into 16th-century fashion and daily life in Bayonne, France.
