A 20th-century religious painting on a wooden panel depicting Archangel Saint Michael in his role as the captain of the heavenly host and the weigher of souls. This piece showcases a vibrant folk-art (popular) style with rich symbolic elements.
Subject: Archangel Saint Michael (San Miguel Arcángel).
Iconography: * The Archangel is shown in traditional military attire with wings, a plumed helmet, and sandals.
In his right hand, he holds a large standard or banner featuring a cross.
In his left hand, he holds the scales of justice, symbolizing the weighing of souls (Psychostasia).
He is depicted triumphing over a demon or dragon at his feet.
Technique: Oil on wooden panel. The background features a turquoise sky framed by stylized golden clouds.
Condition: The piece shows significant signs of age and wear, including notable paint loss (flaking) on the Archangel's chest and the lower edges of the panel, as well as some structural chipping on the wooden corners. This provides an authentic antique patina.
