Saint Bruno
late 18th-early 19th century
The standing figure of Saint Bruno is shown wearing the Carthusian habit. He holds a book and glances in the direction of his missing left hand, which probably originally held an object of contemplation. His rosary hangs at his side, and a portion of the band of his habit is broken on the right.
