Description:
Dressed in the courtly fashion of the Late Middle Ages and portrayed as a beautiful young woman with a serene expression on her face, in her right hand Barbara holds a book and in her left the martyr’s palm branch. The saint can be identified thanks to her attribute, the tower in which she was imprisoned. In this case it stands next to her and is the same height as her.
