Saint Agathe (Saint Agatha)

Pierre Roche

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a relief-style depiction of a woman shown waist up. She faces forward with her hands together in a prayer-like gesture at chest level. Her facial features are somewhat indistinct due to the artistic style, and she appears to have a gentle expression. She has long hair partially covered by a cloth or headdress, and wears draped, flowing clothing. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background has inscriptions, including "SAINTE AGATHE PRIEZ POUR NOUS," in a monochromatic, textured style on a light background.
