Detailed Description
This tall, pointed panel painting features a woman and an infant seated on an ornate throne against a gold background. The panel tapers to a sharp point at the top, where a small, stylized finial is visible. The background is primarily gold, with a repeating pattern of green and red geometric shapes forming an archway around the figures. The woman is seated centrally, facing slightly to her right, with her head tilted towards the infant. She wears a dark green mantle draped over a red gown, with a lighter green veil covering her hair. A gold halo encircles her head. Her left arm supports the infant, while her right hand gently touches his left arm. Her eyes are downcast, and her mouth is closed. The infant is held in the woman's lap, facing her. He is depicted as an infant, wrapped in a gold garment with dark green stripes. A gold halo also surrounds his head. His right arm is raised towards the woman's face, and his left arm rests on her chest. The infant's head is turned towards the woman. The throne on which they sit is gold, with red accents on the armrests and a patterned green fabric visible behind the woman. The base of the panel features a dark brown border with small, repeating decorative motifs, including quatrefoils.
