The saint stands reading in a prayer book. She is wearing a dark green fur-trimmed undergarment and a blackish brown robe and faces left. Greyish white linen puffs out of her gold embroidered sleeves. Her hair is swept up beneath a rich golden snail-like bonnet. Her neck is decorated with a collar set with precious stones, that like all the gold is executed in soft ochre tones. Matt, red colours the brownish tone of the carnation. The background is a dark grey stone wall, which on the left ends with pilaster showing putti.

Date1937

The panel is a fragment from a wing panel and has been considerably cropped, therefore the figure appears to occupy a very small space. The green undergarment is covered with greyish blue folds.
