This woodcut print, created by an anonymous artist around 1460-1480, depicts Saint Agnes, a Christian martyr. Saint Agnes is often portrayed with a lamb, symbolizing purity and innocence, which she holds in her arms. The print utilizes simple, bold lines to create a clear image of the saint, standing with a palm branch, a symbol of martyrdom. The background features a stylized landscape with mountains, representing the earthly realm. This artwork demonstrates the distinct style of woodcut prints during the 15th century, characterized by linear details and a focus on religious imagery.
