Sibille met een boek in beide handen 1520 - 1567

"Sibille met een boek in beide handen" is an etching by Lambertus Suavius, a Flemish artist known for his detailed engravings. Created between 1520 and 1567, the artwork depicts a female figure, likely a Sibyl, holding a book in each hand. The figure is rendered in a realistic manner, with careful attention to drapery and anatomy. The etching's composition emphasizes the figure's position within a niche, with the play of light and shadow adding depth to the image. Suavius's work exemplifies the transition from the Renaissance to the Mannerist period, with its combination of classical themes and heightened expressiveness.
