The Virgin and Child

German 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing upright, facing forward and holding a child in their left arm while their right hand is slightly raised. They have long hair, a serene expression, and wear a crown, a robe with flame-like embellishments, and there are floral patterns framing the edges.
