About this work

An engraved religious print shows a kneeling nun in a dark habit with hands pressed to her chest, facing a luminous haloed figure who hovers above a cloud and extends a scroll inscribed with Latin text. A caption below records that Sister Catharina a Jesu, a Discalced Carmelite nun, died on 19 February 1623 at age 33 and rests in the Parisian Carmelite monastery.
