Late 17th Century Painting Of Saint Rose

Beautiful oil painting on canvas, housed in a contemporary carved and ebonized wooden frame. The painting depicts Saint Rose, a Peruvian nun whose cult spread to Italy in the 17th century, and is characterized by her typical attributes. The saint is depicted wearing a nun's habit, with a crown of roses on her head, and with a very expressive gaze turned to the side. She also holds roses in her hands, which are her typical attributes. This is a painting of great pictorial quality and well preserved, capable of lending a touch of antiquity and class to any setting. Italian craftsmanship, attributable to the Southern Italian School, late 17th century.
