Saint With White Sleeves by James Christensen

Behold the latest discovery from James C. Christensen's Saints and Angels collection, a series he attributes to  his alter-ego, an obscure Flemish painter known as the Master of the Enoch Altarpiece. Other pieces from the series include "Isabella" and "The Enoch Altarpiece".

The subject of "Saint With White Sleeves" does not appear to be a specific saint, and the model for this striking portrait was likely one of the Master's patrons. It was customary at the time for the wealthy to request that their portraints incorporate characteristics of saints or angels. The halo suggests a saint, but the white sleeves hint at angel's wings.
