Madonna and Child

Master of the Dutuit Mount of Olives

National Gallery of Art

The image captures two figures - a seated woman holding a child on her lap. The woman has long hair, a halo, and is dressed in a flowing robe. The child, also with a halo, gestures upward with one arm and extends the other arm towards the woman. Both figures have simple, stylized features. They are seated on a bench with a plain wall in the background.
