Fortitudo

About this work

This black-and-white print shows a half-naked woman sitting on a rock, holding a lion by its mane. Behind her, a small town with a church tower sits on a hill. She wears a crown with a cross on top and leans on a shield with a strange symbol. The word *Fortitudo* at the top hints this isn’t just a portrait—it’s a symbol for strength. The lion and crown suggest power, but the quiet town in the background feels oddly peaceful. Want to see more like this? Look up engraving.
