The Madonna and Child Enthroned is a 1530 oil by Adriaen Isenbrandt, a Northern Renaissance work, depicting Christ Child, held at National Museum of Western Art.
This painting depicts a serene scene of the Madonna and Child seated on a throne. The Madonna, with long brown hair, wears a dark blue dress and a vibrant red cloak, which drapes elegantly around her. She gently holds the Christ Child in her lap, who is dressed in a white robe. The throne is ornate, featuring intricate carvings and a rounded archway behind it. The background of the painting is dominated by the throne and its surroundings, with no other figures or objects visible. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of calmness and devotion.
