Description:
At the time of acquisition, this work was thought to be of St. Catherine of Alexandria by Francesco Solimena. It has since been reattributed to the Italian shcool.

She is wearing a scarlet dress over a sleeved white chemise with a brown-grey cloak over her right shoulder and a brown-grey handkerchief knotted over her black hair.
