This anonymous 16th-century engraving from the Rijksmuseum depicts a female figure with a winged helmet, leaning against a column. The figure, likely a muse, is nude except for a draped garment, highlighting the influence of classical antiquity. The artist's use of detailed hatching creates a sense of volume and texture, contributing to the realistic portrayal of the figure's form. The small size of the work suggests it was a personal study or part of a larger series.
