Virgin and Child

Milton Bevier

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a woman in a red robe and a blue cloak holding a child dressed similarly. Both figures wear headdresses resembling a crown. The sculpture features rich and vibrant colors, with red and blue dominating their clothing. The figures have metallic gold or brown crowns. The woman has long brown hair visible under her crown. The figures are depicted in a formal manner, with the child placed upright in the woman's arm, both facing forward. The style and attire suggest a medieval or religious theme.
