About this work

This painting shows a figure dressed in royal robes and a crown, holding a cross in one hand and making a gesture with the other. The background is bright orange with faded green leaves on the sides. The face is simple, with a calm expression, and the colors are flat with little shading. The figure’s name, *Ecaterina*, is written in Greek letters at the top, which means this likely represents Saint Catherine. The painting looks old and worn, with some paint chipping away.
