The saint is shown as a young, slender woman standing and wearing a crown. She has long, dark hair. She is dressed in a green gown and a gold-and-navy cloak that flows down to the ground. In her right hand, the saint holds a sword with a gold hilt, and the blade pointing down. From under the cloak pokes out a bearded man, the emperor Maxentius, the saint’s persecutor. She tramples him, standing on his back. From behind the woman’s right side emerges a fragment of a circle, reaching her hips. The sculpture is placed in the museum on a wooden pedestal.

Saint Catherine’s crown is golden, decorated with a series of flowers. They are set vertically, running around the upper edge of the crown. Her brown hair tumbles in thick curls to the elbows of her bent arms. They flow down onto a golden cloak. The saint’s face is perfectly smooth, almost white. Her high forehead is distinctly convex. The thin eyebrow arches rise slightly above the light eyes that look thoughtful. There is a hint of a smile on her expressive lips. The saint’s silhouette bends in a way characteristic of medieval art.
