Saint Hedwig - Skimpy Painter

Santa Eduviges, patroness saint of Bavaria, brides, jealousy and difficult marriages, is depicted in the rare 19th century retablo painting on tin. She was known mostly for her generosity, bestowing all that she could give to the sick, the feeble, the impoverished and the imprisoned. It was this bountiful quality of gift for which she was mostly venerated.

This retablo is attributed to Agustin Barajas, also known as the 'Skimpy Painter.'
