This religious painting depicts a Saint dressed in monastic robes and kneeling in a wooded landscape, his arms outstretched. Initially identified as Saint Francis (1181–1226), the central figure has recently been re-identified as Saint Bruno of Cologne (c.1030–1101). The painting bears some similarities with another painting of a similar subject in the collections of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery entitled 'Landscape with a Saint in Ecstasy' and attributed to Pier Francesco Mola. The similarities between the two paintings are such that it is possible that one was an influence on the other.
