Madonna and Child with Three Members of the St. Augustine Order: Saints Augustine, Nicholas and Clara

Cleveland Museum of Art

The artwork depicts a religious scene. The Virgin Mary sits on a sun with rays emanating behind her. She holds a baby Jesus in her lap. Two angels, one on each side, appear in the upper section of the image; both wear robes and have wings. The lower portion shows three saints: - A bishop on the left holds a staff and wears a mitre. - A monk in the center wears robes and a halo, holding a plate with a heart on it. - A nun stands on the right; she wears a wimple and holds a book. A small cherub, surrounded by a halo, sits below the plate. A dove flies between the bishop and monk. The artwork's color is sepia with a darker border; the background of the artwork appears aged.
