Detailed Description
This vertical painting depicts a crowded scene with multiple figures arranged in a dynamic composition. At the top center, a woman with long brown hair wears a red dress and a dark blue cloak, looking down with a gentle expression. She cradles a fair-skinned, nude child, who looks forward and reaches for a small, light-colored apple held by the woman. Surrounding the woman and child are several winged figures. Two winged female figures are positioned behind the woman; one on the upper left looks upwards, while another on the upper right looks towards the child, holding a bouquet of purple and white flowers. Below them, two smaller winged figures are visible. On the left side of the painting, a male figure stands in a brown habit, with a tonsured head and a dark beard. He looks up towards the child, reaching his right hand towards the apple. In his left hand, he holds a small brown cross. On the right side, another male figure with a white beard also looks upwards. He wears a dark robe over a white garment and holds a tall staff adorned with white lilies and a small brown box. Two more smaller winged figures are visible at the bottom, one on the left looking up, and another on the right holding the staff of the figure on the right. The background is dark and indistinct, allowing the figures in the foreground to stand out.
