The painting’s fine details, including intricate lace cuffs on the saint’s sleeves, suggest the work of a skilled Spanish artist, possibly from the late Baroque or early Rococo period.

Set in its original, heavily gilded antique wood frame, this piece is a testament to the religious devotion and artistry of 18th-century Spain. It was likely commissioned for a monastery, chapel, or private devotional space. The rich color palette, dramatic realism, and delicate brushwork align with the techniques of Spanish religious painters influenced by Francisco de Zurbarán and Francisco Bayeu y Subías.

This museum-worthy painting is a rare find, perfect for collectors of Spanish Baroque art, antique religious paintings, or historical Catholic artifacts. Whether displayed in a formal interior, library, or sacred space, this work will add an air of refinement and historical depth.
