Here she is shown wearing the robes of her order. She contemplates a the crucifix in her right hand with a gentle smile. The wound in her forehead is a "partial" stigmata, the result of a thorn from her crucifix, which she received one day while praying. She stands beside a table draped in red cloth, and a red curtain frames the scene. 6-3/4" x 9-7/8"
