"Vrouwelijke Heiligen" (Female Saints) is a print created by Philippus Jacobus Brepols between 1800 and 1833, currently located at the Rijksmuseum. The work showcases a series of 12 female saints depicted in individual circular frames, each accompanied by their name and patron saint. The colorful print, measuring 390 mm by 335 mm, likely served as a devotional piece, highlighting the important role of these female figures in Christian tradition. This work illustrates a typical example of 19th-century religious art, combining traditional iconography with elements of neoclassical style.
