The Honesty of Saint Eligius is a 1614 oil by Jacopo da Empoli, a Early Baroque Italian work, depicting Eligius, held at Uffizi Gallery.
This painting depicts a scene with several figures, including a man in a green robe and a man in a blue dress with gold fleur-de-lis. The figures are gathered around a table with various objects, and there is a dog on the floor. In the background, there is a painting of a woman holding a baby. The man in the green robe is holding an object that appears to be a piece of furniture, while the man in the blue dress is holding a crown.
