Photograph of a sybill from Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling. The woman is muscular, facing the left proper side. Her left hand reaches behind her to turn the page of a book that sits on a stand. She wears many layers of clothing, her hair is up, and there is a band in it. Behind the book are angles. On is holding a torch and lighting a lamp that hangs from a string. On either side of the angles are faux columns with two putti on them each. Bellow the pedistal she sits on is her name "carved" into it.
