"Agnus Dei" is a notable painting by the Portuguese artist Josefa de Óbidos (Josefa de Ayala e Cabrera), who was active during the 17th century. Born in Seville, Spain, in 1630, Josefa de Óbidos moved to Portugal as a child and went on to become one of the few female painters acknowledged for her work during the Baroque period. Her painting "Agnus Dei," which translates to "Lamb of God," is a religious work that reflects the Catholic iconography of the time.

The painting depicts the symbolic figure of a lamb, representing Jesus Christ, often associated with the themes of sacrifice and redemption in Christian theology. The lamb is typically shown with a halo and sometimes carrying a flag, embodying the victory of life over death. In the context of Josefa de Óbidos's oeuvre, "Agnus Dei" is recognized for its devotional quality and meticulous attention to detail, characteristics that are emblematic of her artistic style.

Josefa de Óbidos's work is characterized by a combination of naturalism and religious sentiment, with a focus on still-life elements and the use of chiaroscuro to enhance the spiritual and emotional impact of her subjects. "Agnus Dei" is considered an important piece in her body of work, as it exemplifies her skill in rendering religious themes with both technical precision and a deep sense of piety.

While the exact date of creation for "Agnus Dei" is not well-documented, it is generally attributed to the mature period of Josefa de Óbidos's career. The painting is often highlighted in discussions of her contribution to the Baroque movement in Portugal and her role as a woman artist in a predominantly male-dominated field.

Today, "Agnus Dei" is regarded as a significant cultural artifact that offers insight into the religious and artistic milieu of 17th-century Portugal. It is also a testament to Josefa de Óbidos's enduring legacy as one of the most prominent female figures in the history of Portuguese art.
