French school (XIX) - San Francesco d'Assisi

Devotional miniature of Saint Francis in a perforated gilded bronze frame - Early 19th century
This evocative work combines the spirituality of Franciscan iconography with the mastery of metal craftsmanship, resulting in an antique piece of great charm and devotion.
The miniature painting
The thumbnail depicts Saint Francis of Assisi, shown in a pose of deep meditation or ecstasy. The saint is wrapped in his brown habit, with the hood raised, and holds his right hand to his chest in a gesture of profound introspection or prayer.
The perforated metal frame
The opera is set in a splendid and intricate frame, a true protagonist of the lot.
The shape is an elegant square with side and corner extensions. The inner border is enriched with a dense sequence of small beads or studs, creating a luxurious texture effect.
