The Erythraean Sybil was a prophetess of classical antiquity who foretold the coming of Christ. Heemskerck depicted her here, on this left wing of a large altarpiece, as a young woman attired in fantasy clothing. The paint layer has become discoloured and transparent in places, whereby the underdrawing shines through the gown.
