Saint Roche

Italian 16th Century or Italian 18th or 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person standing upright, holding a staff in their right hand. Their facial features are distinct, with downward glancing eyes and a defined jawline. The person's hair is medium length and slightly wavy, framing their face. They are dressed in a classical or medieval-style tunic with a cloak draped over their shoulders. The tunic has a skirt-like bottom with textured horizontal lines, and they are wearing tall boots. The background shows bold lines and patterns indicating rocks or cliffs, with a structure resembling a church or castle tower partially visible to the right.
