Saint Catherine in the Clouds

Sir Peter Paul Rubens

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing upright. They are looking slightly upwards with their head turned to the left. The person has curly hair and a determined expression. They are wearing flowing garments that appear to be moving, and are holding a feather in their left hand and a sword in their right hand pointed towards the ground. The background is simple, with radiant lines behind the person's head.
