Detailed Description
A vertical painting depicts a crowned woman seated, holding a child on her lap. The woman wears a dark, intricately patterned robe with gold trim and a red undergarment, and a gold crown on her head. Her gaze is directed slightly downward and to the left. The child, dressed in a light blue tunic and a red necklace, sits on her left thigh, raising their right hand with an open palm and holding a small red object in their left. The child has a gold halo. Behind the woman's head is a deep red curtain, framed by a gold background that extends to the top and sides. In the upper left corner, a cluster of grapes and a peach hang from a vine, mirrored by similar fruit and leaves in the upper right. Two winged figures with gold halos flank the central figures; the left winged figure wears a gold robe and has hands clasped together at chest level, while the right winged figure wears a green robe and crosses its hands over its chest. In the lower left, a tall, slender vase holds several white lilies. In the lower right, a small figure in a brown hooded robe kneels, looking up towards the central figures, holding a lit candle in their hands. The lower portion of the painting features a dark red and brown ground.
