EDITORS COMMENTS

Created in the 16th century, this allegorical figure represents an angelic embodiment of faith. The engraving portrays a female cherub with a halo crowning her head, symbolizing divinity and purity. With delicate lines and intricate details, Lucas van Leyden captures the essence of devotion through this netherlandish artwork.
