Saint Catherine of Alexandria (Saint Catherine d'Alexandrie)

Jean-Honoré Fragonard after Marco Cardisco

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a seated woman, two child-like figures resembling cherubs, and a bird-like figure. The woman is leaning slightly to her right, looking at one of the cherubs. She has delicate facial features and medium-length wavy hair, dressed in a draped garment. The background is textured with dense lines, and a bird-like figure appears above. The cherubs have wings, with one emitting a glowing aura. The image is monochromatic and sketched with intricate lines.
