Virgin and Child with Angels

Neri di Bicci

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts the Virgin Mary wearing a blue robe with gold accents and a red dress underneath. She has a golden halo around her head and her hands are clasped together in prayer. Mary sits and holds a swaddled baby, likely Jesus Christ, on her lap. Two children, likely angels, are on either side of her. The child on the left wears a gold halo, a red shirt, and a black cloak with gold accents. The child on the right wears a pink dress and a gold halo. Two more angels with gray wings and gold halos float above Mary. The background shows a blue sky with white clouds and tufts of grass. A gold medallion is above Mary's head.
