The work presents typical characteristics of eighteenth-century iconography dedicated to Franciscan saints:
Subject: The protagonist is a Franciscan saint, recognizable by his brown habit, captured in a moment of spiritual ecstasy, with his gaze turned towards a divine light among clouds and cherubs.
An angel is visible in the lower left, a recurring element in the glorious representations of the saints of the time, underlining their connection with the divine. Works with this specific composition are often dated to the first half of the 18th century.
It can be difficult to determine the identity of the saint.
