The graphic sheet was created as a tribute to violinist Josef Suk and bears all the typical features of Jiří Anderle's work. Simonetta Vespucci was a noble lady from Genoa who became a model for works by Sandro Botticelli and Piero da Cosimo, among others. She was widely known for her beauty and it is debated whether she lent her face to Botticelli's famous Venus. Numbered 33/100. Framed under anti-reflective glass with UV filter.
