This etching by Flemish artist Franz Huybrechts, created between 1656 and 1661, depicts Saint Ursula, a Christian martyr, ascending to heaven. Saint Ursula is depicted in a flowing robe, her hands clasped in prayer, while an angel leads her upwards. The artwork's detailed lines and the dramatic composition create a sense of movement and spirituality, highlighting the sacred narrative of Saint Ursula's ascension. The inscription "Ursula Virgo et Martyr" signifies her role as a virgin martyr. This etching, likely intended for devotional purposes, reflects the Baroque style common in 17th-century Europe.
