About the piece
Created in 1642 by Vincent Plassard, this French ex-voto painting commemorates the healing of several individuals through the intercession of Sister Séraphine. The composition features a dense gathering of figures in period attire, centered around a friar attending to a person on the ground, all rendered with the dignified realism characteristic of the era's narrative art.
