17th century old master, oil on canvas (relined), housed in a Florentine giltwood frame. Portrait of a female saint, Circle of Guido Reni (Calvenzano 1575-1642 Bologna). Italian painter of popular religious works and critically acclaimed mythological scenes. He was born in Bologna and began to study painting at the age of nine; he joined the Carracci Academy when he was 20. His studies were rounded off by a trip to Rome in about 1600.
