Mural by artist Sjoerd Jansen, who works under the pseudonym Studio Anti-Held. The mural depicts Catherine of Alexandria (the Holy Saint Catharine), the protector of plague victims, holding a skull. At the corner of Molenstraat and Oude Vest, where this mural is located, nuns used to care for these victims in the Zwartezusterklooster (Black Sisters Monastery). Several plague graves have been found on that spot.
