This black-and-white drawing shows a robed woman standing in front of a church. She holds a long staff and a book, with a halo behind her head. The church has tall spires, arched windows, and a detailed coat of arms on the wall. The woman looks like a saint, common in religious art of this time. The artist used shading to make her robe and the church look three-dimensional. Check out more about Renaissance art to see how this style shaped history.
