Saint Catherine of Alexandria 1759 - 1769

This etching, "Saint Catherine of Alexandria", depicts Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a Christian martyr, seated on a throne while a winged angel crowns her with a halo. The work, created by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, is a fine example of Rococo art. The soft lines and delicate details of the figures and the angel's wings are characteristic of the Rococo style. The scene is imbued with a sense of grace and serenity, which further reflects the artist's style.
