DescriptionSt. Augustine is portrayed as a bearded man with long hair and a halo. He sits at the center of the image, holding a quill pen in one hand and a heart on fire on the other hand. A large book sits in front of him and behind him, a bookshelf full of volumes. The composition is framed with shells, pearls, sea creatures and exotic flora.This record has been reviewed by University Galleries staff but may be incomplete or contain errors.
