"Katharina von Mecklenburg" is a portrait painting by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a renowned German Renaissance artist. The artwork, dated 1514, depicts Katharina von Mecklenburg, who was a duchess of Saxony through her marriage to Duke Henry IV. As a member of the House of Mecklenburg, her portrayal by Cranach signifies the importance of her status and the alliances formed through her marriage.

The portrait is executed in oil on panel, a common medium for the period, and showcases Cranach's skill in capturing the elegance and dignity of his sitters. Katharina is adorned in the fashion of the early 16th century, with intricate clothing and headgear that reflect her noble standing. The painting is noted for its detailed representation of textures and materials, from the luxurious fabrics of her gown to the delicate lace and jewelry, all of which are rendered with meticulous attention to detail.

Lucas Cranach the Elder was a court painter to the Electors of Saxony, which provided him the opportunity to paint members of the nobility, such as Katharina. His works are characterized by their linear grace and clarity, and "Katharina von Mecklenburg" is a prime example of his portraiture style. The painting not only serves as an important record of the appearance of a historical figure but also as a testament to the artistic achievements of the Northern Renaissance and the cultural milieu of the time.

Today, "Katharina von Mecklenburg" is considered an important work in Cranach's oeuvre and is studied for its art historical significance as well as its portrayal of 16th-century fashion and society. The painting is held in a museum collection, where it continues to be accessible to the public and scholars for appreciation and research.
