Dated 1529, this plate-depicting a woman identified by the inscribed scroll simply as Giustina - is typical of those produced in Italy during the Renaissance and may have been part of a larger service that commemorated a special occasion, perhaps a wedding.
The Library owns another plate by Andreoli, signed and dated 1519 (AZ030).
Inscription:
On a banderole behind the woman's profile is the name "Giustina" and the date "1519". Dated on verso, "1529".
