Virgin and Child Enthroned with Saint Anne

Master NA.DAT with the Mousetrap

National Gallery of Art

This image depicts a detailed architectural scene with two seated figures, surrounded by landscapes. The central part of the scene shows two figures seated on a throne-like structure within an archway. The figures are depicted in an interaction, with one holding an infant. They are dressed in flowing robes. The background features architectural details like arches and columns, with a checked pattern on the floor adding depth. On the sides, the scene extends to outdoor areas with pastoral elements and structures. Additional figures are engaged in various activities, such as shepherds among livestock. Angelic beings with open scrolls appear overhead on each side. Latin texts are inscribed within the scrolls and at the base of the throne.
