The Persian Sibyl, from "Prophets and Sibyls in the Sistine Chapel"
Giorgio Ghisi|Michelangelo Buonarroti|Nicolaus van Aelst
1570–75 · Engraving; second state of three (BLL) · Drawings and Prints
As explained by Boorsch (in Boorsch, Lewis and Lewis 1985, p. 164) the dates of 1540 and 1549 engraved on some of the plates from the series is false. The plates should rather be dated to the early 1570s.
