The Sibyls: The Phrygian Sibyl

Francesco Rosselli

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a woman sitting on a patterned rug with her right leg crossed over her left. The woman has long wavy hair and wears a scarf wrapped around her neck and head. She holds an open book in her left hand and points to it with her right index finger. She wears a long dress with a belt around her waist. The background has lines radiating behind the woman. There are two blocks of text, one to the left of her head and one to the right, and a larger block of text below her. The entire image has the aesthetic of an aged piece of paper.
