Saint Catherine of Siena holding Christ

The painting shows Saint Catherine of Siena in a white habit and veil, her head in profile against a dark background. She holds a small, wounded Christ figure in her hands, the body bent and suspended diagonally across the composition. The image uses strong chiaroscuro and finely modeled flesh and drapery, with a restrained palette of whites and warm skin tones that emphasize the devotional, naturalistic style of early 17th-century Florentine painting.
