Saint Catherine [verso]

German 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows most of a person's body, from head to toe. The individual appears to be standing upright. Their facial features are not clearly defined due to the worn condition of the image. They are wearing a large crown adorned with points. The person has long hair cascading down their back and is dressed in a long, flowing garment with ornate detailing. In the person's hand, they seem to be holding a long staff or scepter. The background is texturized, with patterns and possible objects, though details are obscured. The image looks aged or weathered, with areas of discoloration and spots.
