Saint Anthony of Padua (recto); Bust of a Child and Head of an Angel (verso)

Claudio Coello

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person from the waist up. The individual's head is tilted back with their face raised upwards, giving a clear view of their profile. They have short hair that follows the shape of the head. The person is wearing a loose-fitting garment with wide sleeves, resembling a robe or habit that is tied at the waist. One arm is bent at the elbow with the hand resting at the chest, while the other arm extends outward, palm up. The background is neutral and unembellished, focusing attention on the figure itself.
