This painting is a significant example of the International Gothic style that prevailed in Catalonia during that period, showcasing the intricate details and vibrant colors characteristic of Martorell's work. The painting is dedicated to the martyrdom of Saint Eulalia, a young Roman Christian who suffered martyrdom in Barcelona during the Roman era, around 303 AD, under the persecution of Diocletian. Eulalia is one of Barcelona's co-patron saints, and her story has been a source of inspiration for various artists throughout history.

The painting is structured in a narrative sequence that illustrates different moments of Eulalia's martyrdom, capturing the emotional intensity and spiritual fervor of the scene. Martorell's use of color, light, and composition enhances the dramatic effect, drawing the viewer into the story of the saint's ultimate sacrifice.

His works are characterized by their detailed realism, sophisticated use of color, and the incorporation of both religious and secular themes.
