A painting of a female standing in an outdoor setting, gazing heavenward. The toes of her bare right foot peek out from the hem of her gown. A portion of a tower is visible at the left edge of the artwork. According to the site from which this digital image comes, “This painting was originally located above the left altar of the church in the Clarissan convent of Sant'Orsola in Mantua where Lucrina took her vow in 1614.”
