About the piece
This 17th-century painting, created in the style of Parmigianino, depicts Saint Barbara in an elegant profile. She is shown with her traditional attribute, the tower, and is dressed in richly draped garments of pink and gold. The fine detail in her braided hair and the soft light on her face showcase the refined technique typical of the era's devotional portraiture.
