Detailed Description
This black and white image displays a multi-panel artwork, likely a painting, arranged as a triptych. The central panel is significantly taller and wider than the two side panels, and all three panels feature pointed arch tops. The central panel depicts a woman and a child enthroned. The woman, dressed in a dark, flowing robe and veil, holds a small child in light-colored garments on her lap. They are seated on an ornate throne with a patterned back and base. Four standing figures, two on each side, are positioned behind the throne. In front of the throne, two figures kneel, one on the left in a dark robe and one on the right in a lighter robe, both looking up towards the enthroned figures. The background of this panel is richly decorated with a patterned arch above the throne. At the very bottom center of the central panel, a small rectangular label reads "BERNARDO DADDI". The left panel illustrates a scene in a rocky, mountainous landscape. A robed figure kneels on a rocky outcrop, looking upwards. Above, a winged figure descends from above, emitting rays of light towards the kneeling figure. Another smaller winged figure is visible in the upper left triangular section of the panel. A small, sparse tree grows on a hill in the middle ground. The right panel portrays a figure on a cross in the center of the panel. Below the cross, several figures are present. To the left, a standing figure in a dark robe looks downwards. Another figure kneels at the base of the cross, and a third robed figure stands to the right. A small winged figure is also visible near the cross. In the upper right triangular section of this panel, a seated figure in a dark robe is shown reading a book.
