The Calling of Saint Catherine of Sienna

First third of the Último cuarto del siglo XV - XVI century. Oil on panel.
Not on display

The saint kneels in prayer before an image of the Virgin and Child. The dove of the Holy Ghost hovers over her head. Her parents look on with admiring expressions from behind. The background architecture is very severe in its definition of space.
