Sibylla Europa

Paul Maupin, after Jacques Stella

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person from the thighs up, seated and slightly turned to the right. The face has soft features, full lips, and a direct gaze. The person has short, curly hair with a leafy band, wearing an intricately detailed robe with flowing sleeves and holding a sword in the right hand and a branch in the left hand. The background is plain with a hint of foliage to the right of the figure.
