- Description
- The saint stands in slight contrapposto (body weight on the right leg) facing the viewer. In his elbow-bent left hand he holds an axe in front of him, his right hand slightly raised to his side. She has a young face with expressive features, hair clinging to her head above a high forehead and large curls falling to her shoulders.
The bottom robe, with predominantly vertical folds, reaches his bare feet and is girded with a sash tied in a bow. The upper cloak with a collar, buttoned up to the neck, covers the saint's shoulders hanging in gentle folds at the sides of the torso.
