The Immaculate Conception

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Immaculate Conception by Johann Peter Alexander Wagner: A blue painted wooden panel with a gold border. The panel depicts a woman wearing a long white robe with long wavy hair and a gold head covering. She stands on a dark blue globe surrounded by leaves and holds a young child in her right arm. Two small naked children are on either side, one on the ground looking up and one on the right side looking down. The woman looks down at the child she holds. The panel's blue paint is chipped and faded in places revealing the wood beneath. The gold border and details have some wear and tarnish. The background behind the panel is gray.
