About this work

This painting shows five figures against a gold background. Mary holds baby Jesus while four saints stand around them. The colors are rich—deep reds, blues, and golds. Notice how the clothes aren’t just robes. They’re velvet with fancy patterns. Gold thread makes pomegranates on Mary’s dress. Saint Sebastian’s outfit matches.
