This is an artist's rendition of the archangel Raphael. Raphael, along with his winged compatriots Michael and Gabriel, is held in many traditions to be one of the archangels; indeed, though we have no real knowledge of how many archangels there are, these three generally get most of the attention.
Most of what is generally accepted about the archangels comes from the Bible. Michael gets some great publicity from that whole book of Revelation (or, as they called in days of yore, Apocalypse), doing his thing and leading the armies of God (making him someone we should consider requesting God send to help our fight against abortion, at least the spiritual side of it). Gabriel, of course, gets street cred from Luke (the gospel writer, not the aspiring Jedi), explaining to Mary, the mother of Jesus, that, well, Jesus would occur. Raphael, though, is a slightly more interesting case.
