About this work

This painting shows a woman in bright red and green robes holding a small child. Around her, two angels with wings float above, and two men in red robes stand nearby. Below, five smaller figures stand in a row, all looking upward. The background is a pale blue sky with gold stars and clouds. The woman wears a crown and holds a globe, while the child reaches toward her. The colors are bold and flat, with sharp lines separating the figures. Next, look up composition to see how artists arrange figures in religious art.
