The Virgin Crowned by Angels

Stefan Lochner

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Virgin Mary, wearing a long red dress and a gold crown above her head, holds a naked baby, the infant Jesus, on her left hip. Her left hand supports the baby's bottom, while her right hand is not visible. The baby has his left arm around Mary's neck and holds a stem with a few leaves in his right hand. A gold headband encircles Mary's forehead. The background features a patterned wall with a repeating design of gold leaves on a black base, bordered by a row of small squares in various colors. A black area is above the patterned wall. The floor is gray with scattered flowers.
