Sibylla Hellespontina

Paul Maupin, after Jacques Stella

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person sitting on a stone-like structure. The person is upright with one knee bent and raised, holding a branch with leaves in one hand and the other hand resting on their knee. The individual's facial features suggest age, with an intent gaze. They wear a head covering that drapes over their shoulders, a long robe with folds and patterns, and simple footwear. In the background is a stone column, scattered stones, and plant elements. Simple lines and shadows provide texture to the illustration.
