"Samian Sibyl" is a portrait painting by Robert Campin, a Flemish painter who was active in the early 15th century. The painting depicts a woman, likely a prophetess, in an elaborate turban and long, flowing robes, holding a scroll. Her intense gaze and contemplative expression suggest she is receiving divine inspiration. Campin's masterful use of light and shadow, particularly on the woman's face, creates a sense of depth and realism, a hallmark of Early Netherlandish art. This painting is a testament to Campin's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects.
