Saint Teresa of Ávila (1515–1582) is a 1700 oil by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, depicting Teresa of Avila, held at British Museum.
This oval painting features a woman in a black habit and white veil, with her hands clasped together in front of her chest. A golden halo surrounds her head, and a dove is visible on the left side of the painting. The background is dark, with some faint, illegible text near the dove. The woman's attire and the dove suggest a religious theme. The painting's use of a dark background and golden accents creates a sense of depth and contrast.
