Design for a Lunette: A Saint with The Eucharist
Frederic James Shields 1833 - 1911
Summary
A young male figure sits on a marble seat with his arms outstretched holding a banner with writing on it, "The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand." He is weaing a draped robe and cloak and behind him is another male figure holding in his outstretched arms, a burning lamp in his right hand and crown in his left. The seated male figure has mid length curly hair and bare feet. Next to him on a ledge is an altar cloth with the chi rho, alpha and omega symbols for Christ. On top of the cloth is a plate, chalice and bread, the eucharist.
