This anonymous etching, "Heilige Martina", depicts Saint Martina, a Christian martyr, holding a sword and book. The image is framed by a curtain and a halo of light shines behind her. The artist uses strong lines to create a sense of depth and texture, capturing the saint's serene and devout expression. This small-scale print, likely intended for private devotion, reflects the 17th-century fascination with religious imagery and the veneration of saints. The print is currently part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam.
