Ein Frau war lannge Zeit ... is a 1503 ink by Master of the Miracles of Mariazell, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This woodcut shows a chaotic forest scene with a small group of people in the center. One person lies on the ground, while others gather around them. A church tower rises in the background, and the sky is filled with swirling clouds and small figures. The text below is in German and describes a woman suffering from illness. The artist used sharp lines to create a busy, dramatic effect. Look up woodcut to see how this printmaking technique works.
