This woodcut print, created by an anonymous artist around 1490, depicts Saint Bridget of Sweden. The image shows Saint Bridget seated and reading a book with a halo around her head. She is surrounded by other figures including two angels in the upper center and a group of nuns on her left and monks on her right, all looking towards her in reverence. This print highlights Saint Bridget's importance in the Catholic Church, particularly her devotion to prayer and study, which is represented by the open books in the image.
