Attributed to Francisco Herrera the Elder

Francisco Herrera the Elder was a prominent Spanish Baroque painter active in Seville during the early 17th century, known for his vigorous and expressive style that bridged the Mannerist tradition with the emerging naturalism of the Baroque era. He was a formative influence on his pupil Diego Velázquez and helped shape the distinctive Sevillian school of painting. Works attributed to him often feature bold brushwork, dramatic lighting, and religious subject matter drawn from both the Old and New Testaments.
