St. Christopher, St. Erasmus, St. Barbara, and another female saint

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts four saints. The top half shows two men, one wearing blue and holding a child, the other in red with a white hat. The man on the left is barefoot and wears a blue robe; he holds up his right hand with the palm facing outwards and supports a child on his left shoulder. The man on the right wears a red robe with a white undergarment and hat. The bottom half shows two women. The woman on the left wears a blue dress and a halo; she holds an object in her right hand. The woman on the right wears a pink robe and a white head covering and also has a halo; she holds a gold object in her right hand. The background of both sections is gold with a textured appearance. The frame is gold with decorative etchings. The entire piece appears aged with signs of wear on the surface.
