Ludwig Glötzle, St. Gall Preaching

Circa 1916
Church of St. Gall, Scheidegg, Germany

The paganism of the auditors is expressed in their rudimentary clothing. As in many portraits, the saint is shown holding a floor-length cross. That could be St. Columba in the left background breaking idols with his stick.
