Saint Francis and Saint Clara

German 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two figures standing side by side. The person on the left has short, curly hair and is framed by a halo, wearing a long robe tied at the waist with a rope. The person on the right also has a halo, a headdress with a veil, and holds an ornate staff. Both figures are in front of a brick wall on a grassy area, under a sky with clouds. A central red floral motif and rays intersect the area between the two figures.
