Saint Augustin
This is a representation of Saint Augustine.
The right hand on the heart and the luminous triangle "VERITAS" identify Saint Augustine, Doctor of the Western Church. The triangle is a representation of the divine trinity spreading truth, while the burning heart symbolizes God's love and the quest for truth.
This is a work of mixed technique: fine silk embroidery and painting.
This creation may date from the Restoration / Charles X period.
This embroidery is part of a period marked by an intense revival of the Catholic faith and religious art in France at this time in history.
The frame is Restoration-period molded and carved wood, stained walnut-style with large acanthus scrolls in high relief at the four corners.
The whole is in good condition, note the slight lack of wood at the corners of the frame.
