The Fourth Wise Virgin

Martin Schongauer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a woman wearing a long dress and a crown, holding a torch. The woman stands facing right, her head turned forward. She has a long veil under the crown and wears a long-sleeved dress with a fitted bodice and a full skirt. The dress has a horizontal line across the midsection and vertical lines on the skirt. The sleeves have a bell shape at the end. The woman holds a torch in both hands, with the flame rising from a container. The torch is positioned at chest level on her right side. The background is plain, with the woman standing on a surface that appears to be ground or floor. The image is in black and white, with shading and lines used to create depth and detail. The letters "M" and "S" are written at the bottom center of the image.
