The picture shows a dramatic scene depicting Maria Teresa Goretti, a young saint who died in 1902 at the age of just 11. She is known for her forgiveness of her attacker shortly before her death. In the foreground, the girl lies on the ground with her eyes closed and a peaceful expression on her face. She is wearing a simple, traditional-looking dress and is barefoot, which could symbolize her innocence and humility. Her skirt is folded back. There are bloodstains and red rose petals around her. An angelic figure can be seen in the background, radiant and flooded with light. The angel wears a white robe and a golden crown, possibly alluding to Maria Teresa Goretti's halo. This figure appears to be floating down from heaven, which could indicate that this represents a moment of spiritual elevation or transition to heaven. The cross in the background emphasizes the religious context and could refer to the martyrdom of Maria Teresa Goretti. Overall, the painting conveys a sense of peace and spiritual elevation after suffering.
