"Study for St Bride" is a painting by Scottish artist John Duncan (1866-1945). The painting depicts a young woman, likely representing the titular St Bride, with a halo behind her head, which highlights her importance. Duncan, known for his mystical and symbolist works, has captured the gentle and contemplative character of his subject. This study, which may have been intended for a larger work, showcases Duncan's mastery of detail in the woman's intricate hair, delicate features, and flowing drapery.
