Madonna and Child with saints and angels in a gold-framed arched panel painting
Detailed Description
An arched panel painting features a central group of a woman holding a child, flanked by men, with small winged heads above, all against a gold background. In the center, a woman, wearing a dark blue mantle over a red garment, holds a child. Her head is tilted slightly towards the child, and her gaze is downcast. She has light skin and dark hair. The child, dressed in a light pink garment over a gold tunic, looks out towards the viewer. His right arm is around the woman's neck, and his left hand rests on her arm. Both figures have golden halos with intricate patterns. On the left side, below a small winged head, a bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a red robe, looks towards the central figures. Below him, an older bearded man with white hair and a red robe has his hands pressed together at chest level, also looking towards the center. Both have golden halos. On the right side, below another small winged head, a young man with a shaved crown of the head, wearing a brown robe, looks towards the central figures, his hands pressed together at chest level. Below him, an older man with a bald head and a brown robe also has his hands pressed together at chest level, looking towards the center. Both also have golden halos. The entire background is gold, with a golden star visible on the woman's right shoulder. The painting is enclosed in a gold, ornate, arched frame.
