Gilded panel: crowned woman holds child and goldfinch, flanked by two kneeling figures
This vertical painting is set within an elaborate, carved gold frame. The frame features twisted columns on the sides, an arched top with intricate acanthus leaf and geometric patterns, and a decorated base. The central panel depicts a woman seated, holding a child on her lap, against a shimmering gold background. The woman, positioned slightly to the right of center, wears a dark blue mantle with gold patterns over a pink garment. Her head is gently tilted, and she looks downwards. A gold halo encircles her head, and a gold crown rests on her veil. The child, seated on the woman's left leg, wears a gold tunic with red trim and also has a gold halo. The child's right arm is raised with an open palm, while the left hand holds a small black and white bird, a goldfinch, which the woman's right hand also touches. In the gold background, faint architectural forms resembling towers or buildings are visible in the upper corners. At the bottom of the main panel, two smaller figures kneel on either side of the woman's feet. The figure on the left wears a red robe, while the figure on the right wears a dark, hooded robe and has hands pressed together at chest level. Both kneeling figures look upwards towards the central figures.
