About the piece

This 1665 masterpiece by Spanish artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo depicts Santa Justa, a patron saint of Seville. Shown with her traditional attributes—earthenware pottery and a palm branch—she is rendered with a gentle, idealized beauty and a rich, earthy color palette typical of the Spanish Baroque period.
