Madonna and Child with Saints

Moderno

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a relief depicting a central figure, possibly a seated woman with a child on her lap. Flanking the central figure are two standing figures beside columns supporting an archway. Above the arch, smaller figures can be seen reclining, with one holding a staff. The relief is adorned with decorative elements including scrolls and a shell motif above the seated figure's head. The sculpture is a warm, earthy brown color, suggesting it is made of metal. It has intricate detailing and a symmetrical composition presenting balance and classical architecture.
