St. Catherine is a 1650 by Claude Vignon, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a woman dressed like royalty, holding a sword in one hand and a book in the other. She wears a crown and a long robe, standing on a broken wheel. Behind her is a small landscape with a castle on a hill. The broken wheel under her feet is a clue—it’s often linked to stories about St. Catherine. The artist used shading to make her figure stand out against the background. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.
