Third Foolish Virgin is a 1490 ink by Martin Schongauer, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a woman in a long dress, holding a lamp in her right hand and touching her face with her left. Her long, curly hair cascades down her back. She stands on a grassy mound, with a wreath lying on the ground beside her. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a sense of elegance and refinement. The engraving technique used in the image creates a sense of depth and texture, with intricate details that draw the viewer's eye. The use of cross-hatching adds shading and dimension to the image, giving it a sense of volume and weight. This image is reminiscent of the work of Martin Schongauer, a master of Renaissance engraving.
Martin Schongauer, also known as Martin Schön or Hübsch Martin by his contemporaries, was an Alsatian engraver and painter.
