About this work

This painting is a three-part wooden panel called a triptych. The center shows a woman holding a child, both with golden halos. The left and right panels fold out, revealing smaller scenes: figures in robes, angels, and riders on horseback. The colors are earthy—greens, browns, and golds—with some bright reds for clothing and horses. The central woman looks like a religious figure, often seen in old Christian art. The folded-out scenes might show saints or biblical moments, but the exact stories aren’t clear just from looking. Next, look up triptych to see how this style worked in churches and homes.
