A woman holding an infant, flanked by a young boy and an older bearded man, in a landscape
Detailed Description
The vertical painting depicts four figures in a landscape with architectural elements. In the center, a woman is seated, holding an infant on her lap. She wears a deep blue robe with a green mantle draped over her knees and a red-pink sleeve visible on her right arm. Her head is tilted slightly down and to the right, with a serene expression. The infant, mostly nude with a yellow cloth around his waist, looks up towards the woman, reaching with his left arm. To the woman's left, a young boy stands in a red tunic with a green sash, holding a slender staff or cross. He has a halo and looks directly out of the painting. To the woman's right, an older, bearded man stands in a flowing yellow-orange robe over a blue garment, leaning on a staff. He has a halo and looks downwards. The background features architectural ruins, including columns and arches, with a verdant landscape and distant structures under a light blue sky. Two small, winged, blue figures are visible in the upper center, above the woman's head. The figures are arranged with the woman and infant centrally positioned, forming a prominent group.
