Pietro del Donzello

Cleveland Museum of Art

Round painting depicts Virgin Mary wearing a red dress and teal cloak. The Virgin's head is covered with a teal headscarf. She is looking down at a naked baby standing on a pedestal. The baby has one hand on the Virgin's forearm and the other raised. Two angels are on either side. One stands on the left, with hands clasped, wearing a green tunic with a beige undershirt. The other on the right, with hands clasped, wears a brown tunic with a blue undershirt and beige belt. A young John the Baptist kneels in prayer. The background shows a green sky over a mountainous landscape.
