Mourning of the saint

The Pose: The figure is captured in a gesture of profound grief, with their head tilted and resting heavily on a hand. This is a standard iconographic shorthand for mourning and contemplation.

Color Palette: The dominant colors are deep lapis lazuli blues and muted purples in the robes, set against a shimmering gold leaf background. The gold signifies a divine, eternal space rather than a physical earth-bound location.

Artistic Technique: Notice the chrysography (fine gold lines) used to highlight the folds of the drapery. This technique adds a sense of light and celestial energy to the fabric.
