A charming small-scale devotional painting of Saint Francis of Assisi executed in oil. The figure displays the classic attributes associated with St Francis. A brown habit with characteristic hood, rosary beads held aloft in one hand, and a hand pressed to his chest in a gesture of devotion. A skull in the lower left serves as a standard vanitas symbol, whilst a red book beside likely represents the Rule of St Francis. The painting is well presented in a 20th century gilt-effect frame. Unsigned. On copper.
Condition
Signs of wear consistent with age. Minor abrasions/scratches to the surface of the painting. Minor retouching to the upper right hand corner. Small chips and scuffs to the frame. The overall condition of the artwork is very good.
