Description

Painting, oil on copper, depicting Saint Catherine of Alexandria*, identifiable by the traditional attributes of her iconography. Her face, with its gentle gaze, is surrounded by a golden halo, a symbol of sanctity. She is dressed in a noble gown in rich shades of red and white, evoking both her princely status and her purity.
In her cupped hand, she holds the martyr's palm, emblematic of her unshakeable faith and sacrifice. A sword, the symbol of her beheading, is shown planted above her right hand, reinforcing the scene's dramatic and sacred character.

Tenon frame in walnut wood, richly carved in relief with floral motifs.

European work from the 17th century
(Flemish or Italian school)

* Saint Catherine of Alexandria lived in the 4th century A.D. History has it that the emperor Maxentius wanted to marry her, but Catherine refused and was imprisoned and martyred.
