About this work

An oil painting titled Helgon, attributed to Pietro da Cortona and held by the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. The canvas shows a young man with dark, tousled hair and a pensive, downcast gaze, his head turned to one side while his arms are wrapped across his body beneath a heavy, folded drapery. The muted ochre and brown palette and the soft modelling of the face and cloth are visible, with some craquelure and surface wear across the canvas.
