About the piece

Created around 1650, this oil painting by Francisco de Zurbarán depicts Saint Marina dressed in the refined fashion of a contemporary Spanish lady. The work is a prime example of the artist's ability to combine religious devotion with startling realism and dramatic lighting, where the sitter's pale features and delicate white lace collar emerge brilliantly from a deep, atmospheric background.
