Catherine Jagellon is a 1556 oil by Lucas Cranach the Younger, a Northern Renaissance work, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting depicts a woman with fair skin and blonde hair, styled in an updo. She wears a black dress adorned with gold accents and a matching hat, complemented by a white ruffled collar and cuffs. Her hands are clasped together in front of her. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal or ceremonial setting, possibly from the 16th century. The artist's use of oil paint and attention to detail in the subject's clothing and accessories are notable. To learn more about the artist behind this portrait, look up Lucas Cranach the Younger.
Lucas Cranach the Younger (German: Lucas Cranach der Jüngere, IPA: ; 4 October 1515 – 25 January 1586) was a German Renaissance painter and portraitist, the son of Lucas Cranach the Elder and brother of Hans Cranach.
