"Heilige Silvia Rufina" is a 1644 engraving by Christoffel van (II) Sichem. It depicts the saint kneeling with a crucifix in her left hand and a rosary in her right. The saint is clothed in a simple gown and a headdress. The artwork is a small print, measuring 153 mm in height and 107 mm in width. The intricate detail of the engraving and the dramatic pose of the saint are typical of Sichem's style, which was influenced by the Baroque era. This engraving is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
