Madonna and Child Accompanied by Saints

Andrea Andreani after Jacopo Ligozzi

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of four figures in a tight arrangement, displaying their upper bodies. The central figure is a seated woman holding a young child on her lap. The child reaches towards another smaller child, who is reaching out to the central figure. To the left, a figure wearing a headscarf is holding a flower. On the right, an older male figure with a short beard is looking towards the woman and child and holding a slender instrument. The figures are dressed in draped garments and the background shows a simple interior space with a small window or opening in the top right corner, letting in light, and an inscription in the top left corner.
