This painting shows Saint Catherine holding a sword. She's dressed in nice clothes and has a calm face. The details in her dress are interesting, like the folds in her robe. The painting is old, from around 1520. It was part of a bigger piece, with other panels on either side. To learn more about this style, look up the technique of sfumato.
