This is an image of Albrecht Dürer’s The Four Witches. My summer class on Renaissance art had a section on the Witch trope, which I did my paper on. Basically, witches are cool, have a lot of negative depictions, and were seen to have immense power over men. Also long, uncovered hair was the ultimate Sex Symbol of the 16th century? Fun fact.
