Saint Gregory

Workshop of Master of the Aachen Madonna

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an individual in a richly patterned robe and ornate headpiece kneeling and facing right. The person has a serious expression and is looking up towards another figure emerging from a rectangular structure. This second figure has a halo, skeletal frame, raised hands, and a solemn face. To the left is a second person in modest attire. The scene is surrounded by detailed motifs, including pillars and a textured background.
