About the piece

Painted in 1697 by Sir Godfrey Kneller, this portrait depicts a young woman in the guise of Saint Agnes. The work showcases Kneller's mastery of the Baroque style, with luminous skin tones, draped fabrics in earth tones, and a gentle, contemplative expression that adds a sense of timeless refinement to any space.
