"The Negress Katherina" is a notable artwork by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in the early 16th century. This piece is a pen-and-ink drawing on paper, showcasing Dürer's mastery of portraiture and his interest in depicting individuals from diverse backgrounds. The subject of the drawing, Katherina, is believed to have been a servant of Portuguese descent in the court of Emperor Charles V, which reflects the increasing presence and influence of African individuals in Europe during this period.

The drawing is distinguished by its detailed rendering of Katherina's features, capturing her individuality and humanity with sensitivity and respect. Dürer's skillful use of line and shading brings out the texture of her hair and the contours of her face, demonstrating his commitment to realism and his fascination with the study of human physiognomy. "The Negress Katherina" is often discussed in the context of Dürer's broader body of work, as it exemplifies his lifelong exploration of the human form and his encounters with people from various cultural backgrounds during his travels.

The artwork is also significant for its historical and cultural implications. It provides insight into the perceptions and representations of Black individuals in Renaissance Europe, a time when such depictions were relatively rare and often laden with exoticism or otherness. As such, "The Negress Katherina" is not only a testament to Dürer's artistic prowess but also a valuable document for understanding the complexities of race and identity during the Renaissance.

Today, "The Negress Katherina" is held in high esteem by art historians and is studied for its aesthetic qualities as well as its contribution to the social and cultural history of the period. The drawing can be found in the collection of the Albertina Museum in Vienna, Austria, where it continues to be an object of admiration and scholarly interest.
