Saint Catherine of Siena

Saint Catherine of Siena is depicted as a full‑length, frontal figure standing against a luminous gold ground, wearing a white habit and black mantle with a pale, serene face. She holds a red book in one hand and a stem of white lilies in the other, with a gold halo radiating behind her head and two small angel heads visible at the lower corners. The composition and stylization reflect Giovanni di Paolo’s late Gothic–Sienese style, with refined line work, elongated forms, and a cool, pale palette set against rich gold.
