Description: “A woman is posing to an artist as St. Catherine, holding a
wheel entwined with roses and a palm branch. Male figures in the background with
bushy hair point to drawings on a wall on to which daylight falls through
bottle-glass windows set high up in blue tiled recesses”
(see Surtees,
A Catalogue Raisonné
, vol. 1, 50).
