Saint Joachim (Wautier)

Saint Joachim is a painting by the Flemish artist Michaelina Wautier.

It shows the saint, the father of the Virgin Mary, holding a book, a symbol of the linen traders that he represented.

Along with The Triumph of Bacchus, Saint Joseph, and Saint Joachim Reading a Book, the painting was one of at least four owned by Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria.

The painting still hangs in Austria as part of the Kunsthistorisches Museum.
