This image of Saint Agnes clothed in garments of the Renaissance period shows an individualised treatment of the face, which suggest that it could have been a portrait of a young girl from one of the bourgeois families of the city, the social group which formed the clientele of the sculptor, Joćo de Rućo. This piece is one of the sculptors most beautiful creations. It reflects the iconografic style of St. Agnes of Rome, with characteristics linking it to the great works of the 15th century Florentine carvers.
