Heilige Ursula 1500 - 1503

This engraving, "Heilige Ursula" created between 1500-1503 by the Monogrammist MZ, depicts Saint Ursula, a Christian martyr, standing in a landscape. She is depicted in profile, with her hair flowing down her back, wearing a crown and holding a spear and a book. The artist uses detailed hatching to create a sense of depth and volume, while the composition places the figure in a serene natural environment. The engraving exemplifies the detailed and refined style characteristic of Northern Renaissance art.
