A large portrait painting of Saint Francis, dating to the mid 18th century. Oil on canvas laid to board and presented in a 19th century carved giltwood Florentine frame. The painting depicts a head and shoulder portrait of Saint Francis with a radiating gold halo, wearing a cross pendant and holding a white feather – a symbol of being the patron saint of the environment and animals.
