Lot Essay

The prototype for this devotional type was painted by Pompeo Batoni, c. 1766, for the Church of the Gesù, Rome. The label on the reverse refers to an indulgence granted by the Archbishop of Santiago di Compostela in 1835, to those faithful that would pray and offer acts of contrition to the image of Christ.
