Saint Lucia

Saint Lucia, a painting by Pietro Perugino. 



The artwork depicts Saint Lucia, a Christian saint, standing within an architectural niche. She is fair-skinned with light brown hair, and her gaze is directed upward. She wears a dark green, long-sleeved dress under a flowing, golden-orange robe. In her hands, she holds a chalice containing a flaming heart and a book. The background is dark, with the architectural niche providing a frame for the figure. The painting's style is characteristic of the Renaissance period, with attention to detail in the drapery and the saint's features. The painting's dimensions are 0.67 meters wide and 1.6 meters high. It is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The date of the painting is not specified in the provided metadata.
