Virgin and Child with Saints James and Jerome

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three figures and a child seated. The central figure is a woman with a child on her lap. The child has one hand raised. The woman wears a veil and flowing robes and is seated on an ornate chair. Two men stand on either side. One holds a staff and an open book, with a contemplative expression. The other man holds a closed book and gestures towards the woman and child. Each adult figure has a halo. A detailed wall is behind them.
