Heilige Katharina von Alexandrien is a 1650 oil by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at São Paulo Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a woman, likely a saint, standing in the foreground. She is dressed in a long, flowing robe and has a crown of flowers on her head. Her right hand is extended outward, while her left hand holds a sword. In the background, there appears to be a faint image of a city or landscape. The woman's expression is serene, and her pose conveys a sense of calm and confidence. The use of color in the painting is muted, with earthy tones dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. The subject of this painting is catherine of alexandria.
Bartolomé Esteban Murillo ( mure-IL-oh, m(y)uu-REE-oh, Spanish: ; late December 1617, baptised 1 January 1618 – 3 April 1682) was a Spanish Baroque painter.
