Sibylla Samia

About this work

This image is a woodcut on laid paper, depicting a woman in a long robe, sitting on the ground with her legs crossed. She is holding a plant in her right hand and a book in her left. The woman's hair is short and curly, and she is wearing a necklace. The background is plain, with no other objects or figures visible. The woman's facial expression is calm and serene, and her posture suggests a sense of contemplation. The plant she is holding appears to be a type of wheat or grain, which may symbolize abundance or fertility. The book in her left hand may represent knowledge or wisdom. This image is reminiscent of the works of Maupin, Paul, a Baroque artist known for his allegorical woodcuts.
