The background of the painting is a warm, golden color. The woman's attire and halo suggest that she is a religious figure, and the small object she holds may be a symbol of her faith. The painting's use of gold and black designs adds a sense of luxury and elegance to the overall image. To learn more about the artist behind this painting, look up Giovanni di Paolo.
