Self-Portrait as Saint Catherine of Alexandria is a 1625 oil by Virginia Vezzi, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman wearing a crown and a brown dress with a white collar. She is holding a palm frond in her right hand and a book in her left. The woman's face is turned slightly to her right, and she is looking directly at the viewer. The woman is adorned with a large brooch on her chest and a bracelet on her right wrist. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the woman's features and clothing. If you want to learn more about this painting, look up the artist Virginia Vezzi.
