This painting shows a woman with long, wavy hair. She is holding a cross and looking down at it. Her hands are resting on her chest. The woman is wearing a loose, flowing robe. The background of the painting is dark and shadowy, which makes the woman stand out. The overall mood of the painting is quiet and reflective. The artist who painted this is Guido Reni.
