| Description |  |
Saint Catherine leans on the wheel upon which she was condemned to die, but which miraculously broke. She turns towards a heavenly light. This painting probably dates from just before Raphael left Florence and went to Rome. Raphael painted the picture around the same time as "The Madonna of the Pin"'. The saint's facial features, especially her parted lips, are close to the Madonna's. Both works reveal Raphael's close study of Leonardo.
