Heilige Theodosia after 1626

"Heilige Theodosia" is an engraving depicting the Christian Saint Theodosia, created after 1626 by an anonymous artist. The artwork is a portrait of the saint, depicted in a simple pose with a halo radiating from her head. The saint is shown holding a palm branch, a symbol of martyrdom, further emphasizing her role as a virgin martyr. This small-scale engraving, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the popularity of devotional imagery during this period. The use of intricate linework and cross-hatching create a sense of depth and detail, characteristic of the engraving technique.
