Detail from the San Luca Altarpiece, Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan
Following the usual iconography, the saint is shown with her eyes cast to Heaven in prayer and a short sword piercing her breast (her "side" in the Latin of the story). This was the way St. Justina of Padua died. The other notable Justina, whose attributes include a cross and a demon, was beheaded in Antioch.
