"Sibilla Persica" is an engraving by the Italian artist Pietro Fontana (1762–1837), who was renowned for his work as an engraver during the Neoclassical period. The piece is part of a series of engravings depicting the Sibyls, who in classical antiquity were women believed to possess prophetic powers and were often associated with oracular sites throughout the Mediterranean world. The term "Persica" in the title refers to the Persian Sibyl, one of the legendary figures who were said to foretell the future in the Greco-Roman world.

Fontana's work on "Sibilla Persica" is characterized by its fine lines and detailed rendering, typical of the engraving art form. The piece showcases the artist's skill in translating the depth and texture of a painting into the precise and meticulous medium of engraving. Fontana's engravings were often based on existing paintings by renowned artists, and it is likely that "Sibilla Persica" was also created after a painting by a known painter of the time, although the specific source is not identified in this introduction.

The engraving would have been produced through a process of incising a design onto a metal plate, typically copper, which was then inked and used to print the image onto paper. This technique allowed for the wide dissemination of the artist's work and contributed to the spread of Neoclassical aesthetics throughout Europe.

Pietro Fontana's "Sibilla Persica" reflects the Neoclassical interest in the art and culture of ancient Greece and Rome, as well as the period's fascination with mysticism and the supernatural. The work is an example of the way in which Neoclassical artists sought to revive and reinterpret classical themes through contemporary art forms.

As an engraving from the late 18th to early 19th century, "Sibilla Persica" would be of interest to collectors, historians, and enthusiasts of printmaking and Neoclassical art. The piece is representative of Fontana's body of work and contributes to the understanding of the role of engravings in the cultural and artistic exchanges of the period.
