Santa Bárbara is a 1736 oil by Vieira Lusitano, a Rococo painting work, held at National Museum of Ancient Art.
The painting shows a woman in a green dress with a red cape, holding a white flower. She has a halo and is standing in front of a dark background with a building on the left. The woman's dress is decorated with gold designs, and she is wearing a gold belt and sandals. Her hair is brown and styled in an updo. The flower she is holding is white with yellow centers. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Vieira Lusitano.
Francisco de Matos Vieira, better known as Vieira Lusitano (4 October 1699 – 13 August 1783) was a Portuguese court painter, illustrator and engraver.
