"Frygische Sibylle" is an etching by Crispijn van den Queborn, created in 1615. The artwork depicts the Phrygian Sibyl, one of the ten Sibyls of ancient Roman and Greek mythology, who were said to possess prophetic abilities. The Sibyl gazes upwards towards a vision of God, represented by a figure in the clouds surrounded by angels, which is a visual representation of her prophetic inspiration. The artwork is a classic example of 17th-century printmaking and is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
