Delicate painting on parchment, executed with the ancient gouache technique, presenting a scene divided into two parts.

In the left section, a saintly figure, probably the Virgin Mary o Mary Magdalen, is depicted sitting in front of a table or a small altar rich in details and sacred objects.
A Roman oil lamp emitting a slight smoke, a box containing precious or sacred objects, and an old bed made of woven straw reveal a rustic and poor context.

The interior setting is described with architectural simplicity.

In the right section, men in armor and ancient rifles suggest a context from the seventeenth century.

The painting, well-preserved with slightly faded but still luminous colors, is on parchment ans minutes on a board and inserted into a French original Empire style frame of XIX century, suggesting a French origin.
A fascinating piece for art and history enthusiasts.
