About this work

This engraving shows a woman standing on a crescent moon with stars around her head. A dragon waits below, ready to attack. The woman wears bright robes and holds a baby. Jean Duvet made this in the 1500s. He spent years carving the whole Apocalypse series. Only seven full sets survive today. See one of Duvet’s other prints at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
