St. Barbara by Lucas Cranach. The image shows a black and white drawing of a female saint. The woman has fair skin and her hair styled in an updo. She wears a long dress with a fitted bodice and a full skirt. The dress features a pattern on the bodice and appears to be made of a shiny fabric. The woman holds her hands together at her waist. A chalice rests on her right hip. The woman stands on a rocky surface with buildings and foliage in the background. Two cloudy faces of putti are in the upper corners. Lines radiate from behind the woman's head, suggesting a halo. The image has a black border. The drawing style is detailed and ornate. The composition is centered. The overall appearance suggests an old, religious artwork.
