Saint Catherine [right wing exterior]

Deutsche Malerei 1400–1532, vers 1480/1490

This painting displays a woman standing upright, turned towards the left. The woman holds a sword vertically, with one hand on the hilt, the long blade pointed downward. She has long blonde hair that falls past her shoulders under an intricate crown. She has fair skin, pale, arched eyebrows, round eyes, and small red lips, and her facial expression is neutral. She wears a red robe over a red dress with a black belt at the waist and a faint pattern of flowers and vines. By her feet appears to be a broken piece of curved wood with thin spokes pointing upward, similar to a broken piece of a wheel. The background is black, and the ground is gray.
