Woodcut of a woman holding a mask to her face, with a long-legged bird at lower left and billowing drapery.

A woman striking a pose in masque costume, with a stork or crane. Woodcut by T. Stimmer, 1580.

A woodcut shows a nude-backed woman turning over her shoulder while holding a mask to her face, her long flowing drapery swirling behind her. At lower left a long-legged stork or crane stands on a grassy ground line beside tufts of plants. The fine parallel hatching models the figure and the rocky base against a pale paper ground.
