St. OIL FROM PALERMO, oil on wood, 19th century

A painterly image of the saint, most likely depicting Olivia of Palermo - the patron saint of this town.

The young woman was framed with a cascade of draperies. Her hair was hidden under a long scarf fastened with two decorative brooches.

In her left hand she holds a small cross with an olive branch, completing the subtle halo above her head.
