Heilige Domnina van Syrië als kluizenares 1590 - 1662

This anonymous etching, created between 1590 and 1662, depicts the figure of Saint Domnina, a 4th century Syrian Christian, in her role as a hermit. This small-scale print, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Saint Domnina kneeling in a rocky landscape, holding a cross and surrounded by a halo. The artist's use of detailed, etched lines creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the rough terrain and the saint's serene but humble pose. This etching is a testament to the enduring veneration of Saint Domnina as a pious and contemplative figure.
