Saint Euphrosyne

Attributed to Melchior Steidl after Abraham Bloemaert

National Gallery of Art

The image displays three figures. The central figure is seated and supported by the other two. The central figure has wavy dark hair, eyes closed, and wears a robe with a cross. The figure on the left looks serene, while the one on the right holds onto the cross. The background is sketchy with dark and light contrast, possibly depicting a dimly lit or nighttime setting with visible wooden beams.
