Madonna and Child

Lippo Memmi

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a painting of Madonna and Child. The painting is in an arched shape with a gold background and frame. The Madonna wears a black robe with gold trim over a red and gold dress and a gold head covering. The baby, who is sitting on her left arm, wears a red and gold cloth wrapped around his waist and has a halo. The Madonna's right hand touches the baby's chest. The baby holds a white scroll in his left hand. The Madonna and baby both have fair skin and their faces are pale with pink cheeks; their eyes are cast downward and are dark. The Madonna's face is on the left; the baby's face is on the right. The painting appears to be old.
