St Barbara

The picture St Barbara was painted by an artist who had studied painting. The expressive folds of drapery and the contrasting colours create a dramatic mood. St Barbara is portrayed in regal dress and with a crown, as befits her status. She is holding a chalice with the Host, a palm, and the sword with which she was decapitated. On the right is a tower with three windows, in which she was locked up by her father. The unknown artist expanded the theme by including the decapitation scene in the distance, and the heads of angels at the top. The yellow light in the sky reveals the face of the saint and her individual attribute, a chalice with the shining Host (Text author Skaidrė Urbonienė).
This is a two-sided picture. On the other side is the Crucifixion.
