St. Catherine of Siena and the Beggar

Giovanni di Paolo

Cleveland Museum of Art

A painting depicting St. Catherine of Siena and a beggar. The scene shows a woman in a white dress and black cloak with a halo, standing and holding out a dark garment to a thin, nude man with a halo who is reaching out to accept it. To her left, another woman in white and black, with a halo, kneels with her hands clasped in prayer. The background features a tiled floor and white walls with three arches. The central archway reveals another figure; behind them, a gold and blue mural depicts multiple figures with halos. The woman on the right wears a long black veil covering her white clothing.
