This etching, *Mirjam, de zus van Mozes of een Sibille*, was created by Dutch Baroque artist Jan de Bisschop between 1666 and 1671. The piece features a seated woman, likely representing either Miriam, the sister of Moses, or a Sibyl, a prophetess from ancient Greek and Roman mythology. Her pose and drapery are depicted with remarkable detail, characteristic of de Bisschop’s masterful use of light and shadow. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to its significance within the Dutch artistic tradition.
