Original 1896 lithograph by Eugène Grasset, published in Paris by Imprimerie Chaix as part of the celebrated series Les Affiches Illustrées.

The image presents the saintly figure with halo, armor, and banner, rendered in Grasset’s signature medieval-inspired decorative style that helped define the French Art Nouveau movement.
