This woodcut, *Vertoning van De Lelikens uten Dale (Zoutleeuw)*, is an anonymous work from 1561-1562. Though its exact purpose is unknown, it is likely a frontispiece for a book. The image depicts a scene in a diamond shape, with a mother seated on a throne holding a child, and two men standing next to her. The woodcut's simple style and details are characteristic of works produced in the Netherlands during the 16th century. The use of a diamond shape as a frame is a unique feature, and the artist's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the characters' clothing and the architecture behind them. This artwork offers a glimpse into the visual culture of the Netherlands during a significant period in its history.
