Retablo - Virgin & Child

E. Boyd

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a stylized illustration of two figures, a woman and a child, in a seated position. The woman has an oval face, wide-set eyes, a small red mouth, and long dark hair flowing down her shoulders. She wears a golden crown with simple detailing and a halo around her head. The child on her lap also wears a smaller crown, with similar facial features and short wavy dark hair. The woman wears a blue robe over a red dress tied with a brown bow at the neckline and holds a white cloth while the child is draped in a light-colored garment. The background features a red arch framing the woman, and an abstract floral pattern in shades of red, brown, and green below the figures. The composition is set on a plain beige backdrop with a simple border.
