Early 19thc Spanish Colonial oil on canvas of St Catherine of Alexandria-patron saint of nuns, virgins, and chaste ladies--was also the patron saint of Russian emporess Catherine the Great who had none of these virtues--saint was martyred-she was so pure that when she was to be broken on the wheel, she broke the wheel-she was finally decapitated with a sword-hence her attributes -a wheel and sword--a saint for those ladies seeking her virtues-probably a very narrow market-22 inches by 31 inches--add 3 inches for fine carved gold leaf frame-former owner bought piece in Peru
