This detail from the larger work "La Madonna del Latte, S. Francesco e S. Antonio" by Antoniazzo Romano, a prominent painter of the late Quattrocento in Rome, depicts Saint Anthony of Padua. The depiction shows the saint in prayer, dressed in the traditional brown habit of the Franciscan order, with his characteristic halo and a distinctive rope cinched around his waist. The work's background is a glowing gold, a common artistic convention of the time, symbolizing divine light and heavenly radiance. The composition and the saint's pose evoke a sense of reverence and piety, typical of religious art from this period.
