Description: | Biblical scene depicting the martyrdom of St Catherine. Catherine kneels to the ground in the centre foreground, her hands raised in prayer. A figure to her right dressed a long red shawl, leans forward and gestures with both hands towards a grey bearded man on the right. Behind Catherine to the left, a man stands with a raised sword, ready to execute. A crowd of soldiers are visible in the background, and a figure on horseback looks upon the scene, holding a scroll in his right hand. There is a wooded hillside in the distance with a naked figure tied to a wooden stake on the far left. The sky is dark and overcast.
