The First Wise Virgin

Martin Schongauer

Cleveland Museum of Art

A full-body image of a female figure depicted in a long dress, viewed slightly turned to her right. The woman has long wavy hair and a crown-like arrangement of leaves on her head. She holds a lit candle in a funnel-shaped holder in her right hand. Her left hand is tucked under her drapery. She appears to be standing on grass. At her feet to her left lies a cloth. The image has a border around it and appears to be on aged paper. The artist's initials 'M S' are at the bottom center.
