Painting of a woman in black mourning dress with a rosary beside a crowned saint in red gown holding a sword, in a green landscape.

The Founder's Wife Accompanied by Saint Catherine

A kneeling-then-standing pair in a rocky landscape: a woman in a black hooded mantle holds a red rosary, while a crowned saint in a red and lavender gown rests her hand on a sword. A wooded hill and pale sky fill the background, painted in a fine, detailed oil technique.
