St. Agabus

St. Agabus was a former suitor of the Virgin Mary who became a hermit and built a chapel dedicated to her on Mount Carmel . He wears a Carmelite robe, probably because of seventeenth-century attempts to associate the Order with the prophets of Mount Carmel and he is holding a model of a church in his hand. Size: 110.5 x 90.2 cm.
