Brief Description

A crowned and haloed woman holds a haloed child, surrounded by smaller figures within an arched frame

Detailed Description

This black and white artwork depicts a central seated woman holding a child, framed by an arch and surrounded by smaller figures. The woman, positioned slightly to the left of center, is shown in a three-quarter view, looking down and to her right. She wears a crown and a halo, and her head is covered by a veil. Her left arm supports the child, who stands on her lap, while her right hand is raised near her chest. Her draped clothing falls in soft folds around her. The child, nude and with a halo, faces slightly left and looks upwards, with their right arm raised. Above the woman's head, a small, winged figure appears to be descending. To the upper left of the central figures, a standing figure holds a staff. To the upper right, another figure is seated or kneeling. On the lower left, near the woman's left leg, several smaller figures, some with visible wings, are present. On the lower right, similar small, winged figures are also visible. The background is dark and indistinct, suggesting a shadowy environment. The entire composition is contained within a dark, arched border, giving the impression of a niche or fresco. The artwork exhibits a textured surface and areas of fading.
