"Saint Cunera" is an etching by Dutch artist Cornelis Visscher, dated 1650. The piece depicts the titular saint in a standing pose, her hands clasped in prayer, her gaze turned upward. She is adorned in a long robe with a halo of rays emanating from her head, a visual cue of her sainthood. The detailed shading and meticulous rendering of fabric are characteristic of Visscher's style, showcasing his technical skill in printmaking. This etching, part of Visscher's series "Saints of the North and South Netherlands", exemplifies his exploration of religious themes prevalent in 17th century Dutch art.
