Sibylla Tiburtina

Paul Maupin, after Jacques Stella

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman seated on a stone bench, holding a bowl and a palm frond. She has distinct facial features with a serene expression, arched eyebrows, and a gentle smile. Her hair is styled with curls and covered by a veil, and she wears a necklace and a single pearl earring. She is dressed in a draped gown with a cinched waist and layered details. The background features architectural elements including columns and a curved arch. A small plant-like design is in the bottom left corner. There are inscriptions in the upper left-hand corner.
