This oil painting on panel, titled "Female Martyr with Angels (Saint Catherine of Alexandria)", was created by Italian Renaissance artist Parmigianino around 1523-1524. The work depicts Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a Christian martyr, reclined on a bed of foliage while two angels gather palm leaves. The painting showcases the artist's signature elongated figures and graceful curves, characteristic of the Mannerist style. The work is currently housed in the Städel Museum, Frankfurt.
