About this work

Two depictions on an album sheet. On the left, the Sibyl of Ethiopia. She has a book under her shawl and looks upwards. On the right, the Sibyl of Egypt with a wide-brimmed hat. She is reading a book and holds one of her fingers between the pages. In the lower margin of both depictions, a line of text in Latin and Dutch. The sheet is part of an album.
