Italian school (XVII) - San Francesco

I am a copyist and I reproduce famous paintings.
While I was looking for period frames I came across this small canvas (cm. 38x47), nailed to an ancient wooden frame.
With a careful cleaning it revealed this Saint Francis of good workmanship, perhaps dating to the last quarter of the 17th century.
In the luminous beam of the upper right corner appears the inscription "Cha-ri-tas".
This year we commemorate the eighth hundredth anniversary of his birth.
It could be a good reason to purchase at a reasonable price this ancient portrait of the Saint.
As always: safe packing, fast shipping and seriousness.
