This print titled "PHYSIOGNOMY, 1648. Forehead of a happy and fortunate woman" takes us back to the Renaissance era. The woodcut, created in 1648 by Philippus Phinellas Metoposcopia, showcases the intricate details of a woman's forehead. The subject's face is framed by luscious curly hair that adds an air of elegance to her appearance. Her forehead, which serves as the focal point of the image, exudes happiness and good fortune. It is smooth and unblemished, reflecting a sense of contentment. In this artwork, we witness how physiognomy was regarded as an important aspect during this period.
