Curatorial note
St Teresa kneels in prayer with tears in her eyes while contemplating a picture of the 'Ecce Homo' above an altar holding a crucifix and an open book. To the side is a stool bearing an hourglass. From a balustraded balcony on the left a nun stands watching. Below the balcony a window gives a glimpse of woods.
The panel is after an engraving by Adriaen Collaert, printed by Joannes Galle in 1630, Plate 6 of the series Vita St Virginis Theresa.… The text follows that of the engraving in its entirety: Ante Christi plagis tumentis imaginem, pro vitae in melius muta/ tione feruenter orans, tota protinus immutata, postulatam gratiam / cosequitur; paucis inde post diebus, hanc vocem a Deo precipiens;/ "Posthac cum Angelis conuerseber”
One of a series which includes SG61, SG63, SG65, SG67, SG68, SG86, and SG110. SG91 presents another scene but in a different format.
