Fra Angelico

The painting depicts a scene with three figures. A woman sits on the right wearing a pink top and a long blue skirt with gold trim. She has her right hand raised, placing a crown on the head of a woman in the center. The central woman wears a pink dress and a black shawl over her shoulders. She also has a halo around her head. On the left is another woman with wings, wearing a white dress with gold trim and holding two blue spheres. The background features a gold patterned wall. The woman on the right appears to be God the Father, and the central woman appears to be the Virgin Mary.
