One Antique Miniature French Hand Painted Icon Portrait of Saints Signed by the Artist / discount Saint Rita, Therese, Beatrice, Angela or Hubert

discount This listing is for your choice of beautiful antique original French watercolor paintings of Catholic Saints, circa 1920. These were purchased at a French brocante. Each miniature icon painting is signed by the artist 'J.D.'

These are actual watercolor paintings, not prints. The choices are as follows:

SAINT RITA - Patron Saint of heart broken women, women from abusive marriages, sterility and loneliness. She is depicted in a cloak, kneeling before potted roses surrounded by a barren forest.

SAINT THERESE OF LISEAUX - 'The Little Flower' - Patron Saint of Missions, Orphaned Children, the Homeless and Florists. She is depicted holding a bouquet of roses and a cross and roses at her feet.

SAINT ANGELA MERICI - Patron Saint of Sickness, The Disabled, The Physically Challenged and those grieving the Loss of their Parents. She is depicted wearing a cloak and with a ladder, representing a vision she had of a ladder between Heaven and Earth on which Angels traveled.

SAINT BEATRICE - Patron Saint of Prisoners. She is depicted in chains in a prison with bars on the windows.

SAINT HUBERT - Patron Saint of Hunters, Metal Workers, Mathematicians and Opticians. He is depicted riding His horse, trumpeting a bugle with his dogs running alongside of him. The dogs are by far my favorite part of these paintings!!

Each of these paintings measure 2 1/2" x 3". They have light wear from storage. Saint Therese has some very light creasing in the top right corner, but nothing horrible.
