"Phrygia Sibylla" is an engraving by the Flemish artist and engraver Theodore de Bry (1528–1598). De Bry, known for his detailed and intricate works, was a prominent figure in late 16th-century European printmaking. The engraving is part of a series depicting the Sibyls, who in classical antiquity were women believed to possess prophetic powers and were often associated with oracles and the divine.

The "Phrygia Sibylla" specifically represents the Phrygian Sibyl, a prophetess from the region of Phrygia in Anatolia, modern-day Turkey. The Sibyls were later incorporated into Christian tradition, and the Phrygian Sibyl, in particular, was said to have foretold the coming of Christ. De Bry's depiction of the Phrygian Sibyl is consistent with the Renaissance tradition of portraying Sibyls with a blend of classical and Christian iconography, often including scrolls or books to signify their roles as prophetesses.

Theodore de Bry's work is characterized by its fine detail and the use of allegorical elements, which were common in the art of the Northern Renaissance. His engravings not only served as works of art but also as illustrations for books, contributing to the spread of knowledge and ideas during the period.

"Phrygia Sibylla" is an example of de Bry's skill in engraving and his contribution to the visual culture of the Renaissance. It reflects the period's interest in classical antiquity, the integration of pagan and Christian thought, and the importance of prophecy in religious belief. As with many of de Bry's works, this engraving would have been influential in disseminating the image of the Sibyls to a broader audience, beyond the confines of the learned elite.

The engraving is held in various art collections and has been studied in the context of Renaissance art, printmaking, and the history of prophecy. It remains an important piece for understanding the intersection of art, mythology, and religion during the time of Theodore de Bry.
