Song to the Madonna

German 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a religious seated figure with accompanying text. The central illustration shows a crowned, robed figure holding a smaller robed figure on a throne-like chair. The surrounding text is in a gothic script style, with floral and vine-like borders on either side. The top part of the image includes a decorative heading in a fancy font. The paper looks aged and has a sepia tone, giving it an antique look.
