Vision of Saint Catherine of Alexandria is a 1688 ink by Italian 17th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a woman in flowing robes, floating above a rocky landscape. She holds a wheel and a book, looking upward with a calm face. Around her, clouds and swirling lines create a sense of movement. The artist used sharp lines and shading to make the scene feel dramatic. The paper has a textured look, typical of old prints.
