The First of the Foolish Virgins

Martin Schongauer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The First of the Foolish Virgins by Martin Schongauer: A woman stands on a draped surface, viewed from the side. She has a cloth wrapped around her head with hair visible underneath. The woman holds a lantern in her right hand with the handle resting on her right hip; her right elbow bends outward. Her left arm bends in front of her body; the left hand points to the left. She wears a long dress with a sash around her waist. A ball-like object with leaves sits to her right. The letters M, +, and S are at the bottom. The image is in shades of gray on a beige background.
