Confessions

A reproduction of the fresco painting "St. Augustine in His Study" by Sandro Botticelli. It depicts St. Augustine as an elderly man with a white beard and a halo, wearing a voluminous red robe over a darker garment. He is seated at a wooden desk, writing with a quill into a large book. Behind him is a classical architectural setting with a coffered barrel vault and a decorative relief. To the left, a yellow curtain is partially drawn, revealing a small shelf with books. Scattered fragments of paper lie on the floor at the base of his desk.
