About this work

In this image, a woman is depicted in a flowing robe, holding a globe and pointing upwards with her right hand. She is seated on a table or pedestal, surrounded by various objects, including a compass and a small cherub-like figure holding a shield. The woman's long hair is tied back, and her facial expression is contemplative. The scene is set against a backdrop of brick walls and a window, with the word "ASTROLOGIA" inscribed above the woman's head. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of quiet reflection and study. This engraving is a fine example of Renaissance art, and fans of the period may also enjoy exploring the works of artist Pencz, Georg.
