Veiled Figure - possibly St. Catherine of Egypt

Veiled Figure - possibly St. Catherine of Egypt

Sir Alfred Gilbert, R. A. (1854-1934)

c. 1900

Bronze

1/2 inches (42 cm) (plus base 2 3/4 inches (7 cm.)

Exhibited: Minneapolis Institute of Arts

Identical to The Miraculous Wedding (34) but without the Christ Child, it is possible that this figure represents an early working for the heavily veiled figure of St. Cathenne of Egypt for the Clarence Memorial.
