About this work

This painting shows a group of figures gathered around a central throne. The throne is occupied by a woman holding a child, both of whom are surrounded by a halo of light. Two figures stand on either side of the throne, while two more are visible in the background. The scene is depicted in a style that emphasizes the use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and volume. The figures are rendered in a highly detailed and realistic manner, with intricate folds in their clothing and subtle expressions on their faces. The painting is held at the Fitzwilliam Museum.
