"Saint Werenfridus" is an etching by Cornelis Visscher, a Dutch artist known for his detailed engravings. This artwork depicts Saint Werenfridus, a Christian saint, standing with a book in hand and a halo above his head. The detailed rendering of the saint's clothing and the inscription below the figure are characteristic of Visscher's style. This print was created in 1650, during Visscher's short but prolific career, and is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago. The print is a fine example of the technical skill and artistic talent of Visscher, showcasing his mastery of the etching technique.
