Detailed Description
A woman holds a child, seated on an ornate throne, flanked by two angels. The central woman, facing forward with a slight tilt of her head, wears a dark blue cloak that drapes over a pink undergarment. Her light-skinned face is calm, and her dark hair is covered by her cloak. A small, light-colored star-like motif is visible on her left shoulder. Her right hand supports the child's back, while her left hand touches the child's cheek. The child, dressed in a pink garment, sits on the woman's lap, facing towards the left. The child has light skin, light curly hair, and bare feet. Its right arm is around the woman's neck, and its left hand touches the woman's chin. The woman and child are seated on a large, elaborate throne with dark brown wooden posts. The throne is draped with patterned pink fabric, featuring intricate designs. Two smaller angels are positioned symmetrically in the upper corners, behind the throne. Each angel wears a pink robe, has grey-blue wings, light skin, and light curly hair, with a small gold halo. The background behind the figures is a solid, warm gold. At the very bottom, a patterned green and white floor or footrest is visible beneath the throne.
