Pax with the Madonna and Child

Antonio Rossellino

Cleveland Museum of Art

Gold-colored relief sculpture on a rectangular base. The sculpture depicts a woman wearing a head covering, a long-sleeved dress with a belt, and a head halo. She sits and holds a smaller figure, a child with curly hair, a short dress, and a head halo. The child sits on the woman's lap, to her right. The woman's left hand rests on the child's back; her right hand supports the child's right hand. The child holds an object in their left hand. The background of the sculpture features a patterned design with squares and flowers. Two carved winged figures are at the top corners of the relief. The relief has a thick gold-colored frame.
