Saint Catherine

Deutsche Grafik um 1480, 1480 ou après

The image shows a three-quarter length portrait of a person seated. Their body is slightly tilted, with the head facing left. The facial features are delicately defined, with a serene expression and long, flowing hair cascading beneath an ornate crown. The person is dressed in rich garments with intricate patterns, wearing a thick, luxurious robe with what appears to be ermine trim. They are holding a large wheel in their right hand and a sword in their left hand. The background is a vivid tapestry-like pattern with geometric and floral designs in greens, reds, and yellows.
