Anton Joseph von Prenner's 1732 engraving, "Saint Pepin I and his daughter, Saint Begga," depicts the figures of Saint Pepin I and Saint Begga, who are dressed in formal attire. The engraving's use of rich details, including the fur trim on Saint Begga's robe and the elaborate headwear of both figures, contributes to a sense of grandeur and historical significance. This piece, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring power of religious imagery in art.
