Antique Portrait Painting Of St. Francis Xavier – Italian School, Late 17th Century
The work is a portrait of Saint Francis Xavier. The painting depicts the saint in a half-length portrait with a dark beard, his gaze turned upward, and wearing a dark robe—elements typical of Jesuit iconography.
Saint Francis Xavier is often portrayed in a posture of prayer or humility. His gaze toward the sky and the staff visible on the right are common attributes representing his role as a missionary.
Style and Period: The style of the painting, characterized by a strong contrast between the subject and the dark background, recalls 17th- or early 18th-century painting. Similar works have been cataloged as belonging to Italian schools of that period.
Frame: The painting is set in an antique rectangular gilded wooden frame.
Frame dimensions: 38 x 30 cm - Panel dimensions: 30 cm x 21.5 cm
