Two Sibyls and an Angel

About this work

This engraving shows three figures in a dramatic scene. On the left, a hooded woman sits with her back turned, her hand resting on a tall, narrow column. To the right, a robed man stands confidently, looking toward her. Above them, two winged angels float—one holds a scroll, the other leans on a cloud. The hooded woman’s posture suggests quiet strength, while the man’s stance feels more commanding. The angels add a sense of mystery, as if they’re part of a larger story. This is an example of engraving, a technique where artists carve into metal plates to create detailed prints.
