St.
GertrudeLike the other St. Gertrude image in the
museum, this work adds to the heart an image of the Christ Child. It
also displaces the fiery background (seen, for example, in the Vieira Gertrude) from the heart to the Child
and, to accommodate a larger child, displaces the heart from the
saint's breast to her right hand.
