About the piece

This late 18th-century oil painting by an anonymous Slovak master depicts Saint Isidore the Laborer in a visionary state. Kneeling amidst soft, atmospheric clouds, the saint is attended by playful cherubs, while in the landscape below, an angel performs his earthly toil with a team of oxen.
