Image Title: Canonesses Regular of the Order of Saint Basil

Description: This etched print depicts a canoness regular of the Order of Saint Basil, a Greek Catholic monastic order that has its Mother House in Rome. The order underwent a reform by the initiative of Josaphat Kuntsevych (c. 1580 – 1623 CE), which brought the individual monasteries living according to the rules of St. Basil and St. Theodore Studite into a single congregation under a Protarchimandrite directly subject to the Metropolitan .
