Mistic Marriage of Saint Catherine is a 1650 oil by Unknown, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting depicts a tender scene of the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus surrounded by two female figures. The central figure, Mary, is dressed in a red robe with a blue shawl draped over her shoulders, while the infant Jesus is naked and being held by her. To the left, a woman with curly hair adorned with pearls is reaching out to touch the infant's hand. On the right, another woman is visible, although her features are less defined. The background of the painting is dark, with hints of blue and green, which contrasts with the warm tones of the figures in the foreground. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of serenity and devotion. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures.
