From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
St. Catherine is a 1750 by Jacques-Firmin Beauvarlet, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a woman in flowing robes, standing with one hand resting on a scroll. She wears a crown and looks calm, with a landscape scene behind her—a city, a crowd, and a battlefield. The light falls on her face and arms, while the background fades into shadow. Her bare feet and simple dress suggest she’s not a queen but a figure of wisdom or faith. The scroll might hold words or a map, but her peaceful expression feels more important. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
The print depicts Saint Catherine and is based on a work by Garofalo; it is executed in print on paper and is a proof impression taken before letters were added.
