Here's St Catherine, second from left in a Gerard David painting from around 1510 in London's National Gallery. The two figures to the right of the Virgin and Child are St Barbara and St Mary Magdalene. The man on the left is the donor.

The Christ Child is putting a ring on St Catherine's finger to represent their Mystic Marriage.

There's so much more to this picture, but I'll confine myself to saying I love it.
