Measuring 20x17 cm, this vellum artwork is housed in the prestigious Musee Marmottan Monet in Paris, France.

Stunningly rendered, the depiction captures a pivotal moment in St. Catherine's life - when she was stabbed by a sword but remained steadfast in her convictions until the end. The palm branch held firmly in her hand signifies victory over death and martyrdom.

This remarkable piece serves as a testament to St. Catherine's enduring legacy as one of Christianity's most revered saints while showcasing Belbello's talent as an illuminator during the Lombardy Renaissance period.
