This impressive 19th-century reverse glass painting depicts the crowned Saint Catherine of Alexandria enthroned against a dramatic, cloud-filled sky. She holds a palm frond and sword in her right hand—symbolizing her martyrdom—with her left hand resting gracefully over her chest. Draped in rich red, gold, and white robes, the saint is depicted with serene, idealized facial features. Executed in vivid polychrome pigments, the work exhibits minor expected paint losses along the glass edges, consistent with age. Presented in an authentic period wooden frame with brass corner decorations and original wooden backing. Reverse glass painting (oil and pigments on glass) , 60 x 46 cm
