This woodcut print, *La Vera Perfettione del Disegno di varie sorti di recami, page 24 (verso)*, is part of a larger work published in 1567 by Giovanni Ostaus. The print, which features a landscape with a couple embracing under a tree, illustrates the theme of Venus and her beauty. Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, is depicted as a desirable figure who inspires love and passion. The image features a detailed landscape with a river and mountains, suggesting an idyllic and romantic setting for the couple. This is a fine example of the detailed and intricate nature of the woodcuts produced in the 16th century.
