"A Sibyl" is a 17th-century oil painting by Flemish artist Kasper van den Hoecke, also known as Gaspar van den Hoecke. The work is part of a tradition in Renaissance and Baroque art that depicted sibyls, who were women in ancient times believed to possess prophetic powers and were often associated with the oracles of antiquity. These figures were popularized in art and literature and were sometimes interpreted in a Christian context as prophetesses who foresaw the coming of Christ.

Kasper van den Hoecke (circa 1585 – circa 1648) was a Flemish painter and draughtsman known for his religious compositions, genre scenes, and history paintings. He was a member of the prominent van den Hoecke family of artists, which included his more famous son, Jan van den Hoecke, who was a painter at the court of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria.

The painting "A Sibyl" showcases van den Hoecke's skill in rendering figures with a sense of dignity and grace, set against a dark background that highlights the subject's contemplative expression and richly detailed attire. The sibyl is typically depicted with classical features and is often adorned with a turban or elaborate headdress, as seen in this work. She may hold attributes such as a book or scroll, referencing her role as a prophetess.

While the exact date of creation for "A Sibyl" is not definitively known, it is generally attributed to the early 17th century, a period during which van den Hoecke was active in Antwerp and produced numerous works for local churches and private patrons.

The painting is an example of the Northern Baroque style, characterized by dramatic use of light and shadow, a focus on realism, and an emphasis on the emotional and spiritual life of the subjects. "A Sibyl" by Kasper van den Hoecke remains an important work for its representation of a sibyl, contributing to the understanding of the cultural and artistic context of the period in which it was created.
