Vor unbestimmtem Grund die sitzende Hüftfigur des Heiligen mit nach links unten gerichtetem Blick und zusammengeführten Fingerspitzen. Das Gemälde kann in die 1630er- bzw. die frühen 1640er-Jahre datiert werden und kann verglichen werden mit einer Heiligen Katharina von Alexandrien, die im Barber Institute of Fine Arts der University of Birmingham verwahrt wird, bzw. mit einem San Lorenzo (1640 – 1645), der im Museo de Lázaro Galdiano in Madrid verwahrt wird. Ebenso vergleichbar ist ein Stefanus bei Giacometti Old Master Paintings in Mailand und ein Werk, das im Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte in Neapel verwahrt wird.
Bernardo Cavallino war ein neapolitanischer Maler des Barock. Er malte meist biblische, mythologische oder historische Sujets. Seine Kunst ist von intimer Zartheit und großer malerischer Feinheit. Seine Figuren sind dabei von auffälliger Schlankheit und Eleganz.
