Saint Walpurgis

About this work

This black-and-white print shows a robed figure standing on a rocky shore. Behind her, a wavy sea leads to a small town with a tall church spire. She holds a cross in one hand and a book in the other, with a halo around her head. To the right, a tree with crowns on its branches stands out. The text at the bottom reads *Santa Walpurgis*, hinting at a saintly figure. The style looks like it comes from an older time, with sharp lines and no color. Want to know more?
