Study for "The Assumption of the Virgin" for San Augustín, Seville
A painting depicting a scene of the Virgin Mary being taken up into heaven. The Virgin Mary sits at the center, wearing a white dress and dark cloak, surrounded by several angels and cherubs. She is looking up and to her right, with one hand pointing upwards and the other resting on her chest. Several cherubs are flying around her, some playing musical instruments, others reaching out or looking up. Above her, an angel holds out a crown, and another figure of Jesus Christ stands on a cloud to the right. The background is cloudy and hazy, with shades of brown, gray, and blue. The painting is framed in wood.
