Saint Rochus (Roche)

Moderno

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rectangular sculptural plaque with a carved figure of a pilgrim or traveler carrying a walking staff and a bag over his shoulder. The figure is standing amidst a landscape with trees and a building in the background. He is wearing a robe and a head covering, with a halo around his head. The sculpture appears to be made of bronze or a similar metal, with a dark brown color and a shiny patina. The carving is detailed, with emphasis on textures of clothing, foliage, and landscape elements. There are small holes at each corner of the plaque.
