Brief Description
Arched panel painting: a central woman holding a child, flanked by two figures, above a three-figure landscape
Detailed Description
An arched panel painting is divided into two horizontal registers. The upper register features a central woman in a dark blue or black robe, holding a child dressed in red and gold. Both figures have greenish faces and are encircled by golden halos. The woman's head is tilted slightly towards the child. To the left of the central figures, a haloed figure with a greenish face wears a red cloak over a dark tunic. To the right, another haloed figure with a greenish face wears a light pink or brown robe and holds a staff. The background of this register is an orange-red color, intricately patterned with gold designs, including a large, ornate circular pattern around the central group. A horizontal band separates the two registers, also decorated with gold patterns. The lower register depicts three figures in a landscape setting. On the left, a figure in a red cloak kneels, facing right, near a dark green, leafy tree. In the center, a standing figure in a brown and gold robe faces right. On the right, a figure in a red robe kneels, facing left, holding a dark, snake-like object. All three figures in this register have greenish faces and halos. Above the kneeling figure on the right, a faint, winged figure is visible in the orange-red background, which is patterned with gold designs similar to the upper register.
