Saint Agnes

Martin Schongauer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing upright with long, curly hair, wearing flowing robes with intricate detailing. They have closed eyes and a calm expression, holding a palm frond in one hand and a book in the other. There is a small lamb or sheep at their feet, and a plain background emphasizes the person and their surroundings.
