About the piece
Painted around 1630 by Flemish artist Jan van den Hoecke, this striking work depicts the Sibyl Agrippina with remarkable presence. The composition is defined by its masterful Baroque lighting, contrasting the luminous red of the figure's robes and the intricate golden details of her turban against a deep, shadowed backdrop.
