Lucretia is a 1502 ink by Master S, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a woman standing in the center, with a sword in her right hand and a cloth draped over her left shoulder. She is positioned in front of a body lying on the ground, with a building visible in the background. The woman's expression is somber, and her posture conveys a sense of determination. The sword in her hand adds a sense of drama to the scene, while the cloth draped over her shoulder suggests a sense of modesty. This engraving on laid paper is a notable example of Renaissance art, and it can be found at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
