The Disputation of Saint Catherine of Alexandria is a 1727 ink by Georg Wilhelm Neunhertz, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a chaotic crowd of people in a grand, crumbling space. At the center, a woman stands on a raised platform, surrounded by figures in flowing robes. Some people reach upward, while others seem to be climbing or falling. The scene feels dramatic, with swirling lines and heavy shading. The drawing uses quick, sketchy lines to show movement and emotion. The paper looks old, with visible texture, and the artist didn’t smooth out the details. Next, check out the Baroque movement for more dramatic, busy art like this.
