Over de sculptuur
Saint Agnes, who was put to death by the Romans for her Christian faith and thereafter worshipped as a martyr, was depicted by Adriaen van Wesel as a graceful, medieval noblewoman. The lamb at her feet alludes to her having appeared after her death, wearing a golden robe, with a white lamb (agnus, the Latin for lamb) at her side.
