Miniature from a Compendium of Saints' Lives: Saint Catherine of Alexandria Disputing with the Fifty Philosophers
A medieval-style illustration depicts a scene with a woman and several men. The woman wears a white head covering, a blue dress, and a gray shawl; she sits on the right, holding a gold book and pointing up. The men, dressed in blue and gray robes, sit on the left, with one older man with a beard and blue hair gesturing toward the woman. A gold background features a blue-robed figure descending from a cloud. The illustration is framed by a border with gold, blue, and red accents.
