Wise maiden 

"Wise Maiden" is an engraving by the German artist Martin Schongauer, a master of the Northern Renaissance. The work depicts a woman, likely a saint or an allegorical figure, holding a lamp or torch, symbolizing knowledge and wisdom. Her flowing hair and draped clothing contribute to a sense of grace and elegance, typical of Schongauer's style. The meticulous detail and the use of hatching, a technique where lines are used to create shading, are hallmarks of his masterful engravings.
