This painting shows a scene of Saint Catherine being freed from a wheel. The story behind this painting is interesting. It's based on a legend where Saint Catherine was supposed to be executed on a wheel, but it broke apart. The artist used a technique like glazing to create the painting, which is similar to what you'd see if you looked up the technique: glazing.
