Saint Peter Weeping with Keys, between early and mid-17th century. A man holding a handkerchief to his face and weeping. The two large keys on the table identify the figure as Saint Peter. According to the Gospel of Saint Luke in the Christian Bible, Jesus foretold that Peter would deny knowing him three times; here Peter weeps bitterly in repentance after his final denial.
