Italian Saint Catherine of Alexandria, polychrome gilded, late 16th century

Saint Catherine of Alexandria, carved in the round, in polychrome gilded wood from the late 16th century.
The Saint is in a standing position, slightly swaying. She is dressed "in the antique", a section of her coat is tied over her shoulder.
In her left hand she holds the instrument of her martyrdom: a wheel.
Her face is finely sculpted and styled in an elegant bun.
A very beautiful "sgraffiato" polychromy decorates this Italian sculpture.

Italy, Siena
Original polychromy
