Margherita

Jacques Callot after Matteo Rosselli

National Gallery of Art

The image shows multiple figures inside a sacred or religious setting. Two figures are standing on steps or a platform on the right side, with one reaching towards a seated figure on the left. The seated figure, with a serene expression, is in front of columns and a patterned wall. Several women are present, standing near the steps with their bodies angled towards the seated figure. The women wear long robes and headscarves with detailed texture. An image within the space shows a figure with a halo. The background has architectural patterns. Italian text is inscribed below the scene.
