Bologneser Meister des 18. Jahrhunderts
BREAST PORTRAIT OF A SIBYL Oil on canvas. 65 x 50.5 cm. In decorative wooden frame. The portrait of the sibyl slightly to the right with a turban-like headdress and an upward gaze with shining eyes. High-quality painting in predominantly monochrome beige-brown colors. According to myth, a Sybille is a prophetess who, unlike other divinely inspired seers, originally prophesied the future without being asked. Partly restored, few retouches. Annotation: Probably the most famous depiction of the Sibyls can be found in the ceiling frescoes painted by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel in 1512. (1400709) (3) (18)
