St. Catherine of Siena Frees the Possessed Woman

Florentine School, 15th century
From a predella. Tempera on wood panel.
Pinacoteca Vaticana, Rome.

The title above is the one given by the museum, but clearly the person from whom the image shows Catherine driving the devil is not a grown woman but Lorenza di Ser Monaldo, the eight-year-old child whose exorcism is recounted in Raymond of Capua's Life (II, ix; Lamb 241-44).
