This engraving titled *Luna* by German Renaissance artist Sebald Beham depicts the Roman goddess of the moon, Luna. She holds a crescent moon in her left hand and a staff in her right. At her feet is a crab, the sign of the zodiac associated with the moon. The inscription "LVNA" and the artist's monogram "ISB" appear in the top left corner and lower right corner, respectively, along with the date of creation 1539. Beham's use of fine lines and intricate detail creates a sense of realism in this depiction of a classical myth.
