A richly rendered devotional scene depicting the Sixth Station of the Cross, where Saint Veronica wipes Christ's face as he carries the cross to Calvary. According to tradition, an image of Christ's face (the Vera Icon) was miraculously imprinted upon the cloth. The hill with crosses visible in the background confirms the destination of Golgotha, whilst the Virgin Mary, clothed in blue robes, weeps nearby. The composition is elegantly presented in a gilt frame adorned with shell and foliate motifs. Unsigned. Provenance: No. 64 from the painting collection of J. H. Görrig, with wax seal verso. On canvas.
