Detailed Description
This vertical rectangular panel shows multiple figures against a landscape and architectural background. In the lower right, a woman in a deep blue robe sits on a white stepped platform, holding a small child dressed in gold. The child reaches towards a figure kneeling before them. This kneeling figure, wearing a halo and an elaborate gold and orange patterned robe, offers a golden object. A golden crown rests on the step nearby. To the right of the seated woman, two standing figures with halos wear long, gold patterned robes. On the left side, two other standing figures with halos, also in ornate gold robes, face the central group. One of these figures has a beard. Below them, in the lower left corner, three smaller figures in simpler robes of pink, yellow, and white stand in a line. The background on the left features a light green, rocky landscape dotted with small dark trees, all beneath a cracked gold sky. On the right, behind the seated woman, are architectural elements with pink and white walls, including arches and balconies, also under the gold sky.
