"The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine" is a lithograph created by Georg Jacob Felsing between 1826 and 1836. The print depicts Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a 4th-century Christian martyr, being wed to Christ, who is represented as a child. The scene is set in a landscape with a distant mountain range. The print is a fine example of Felsing's work, which is known for its detailed draftsmanship and sensitive depiction of emotion. The print was a popular subject for artists in the 19th century, and it was often reproduced in various formats. The print is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
