Madonna and Child Enthroned, Saint Jerome and Saint Francis

Anton Maria Zanetti I, after Parmigianino

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three figures in an elaborate scene. In the center, a woman is seated holding a child on her lap. The woman has a serene expression, styled hair, and wears a long robe. The child is naked. To the left of the woman, a man kneels looking up at her, wearing a robe with a cross. To the right of the woman, another figure stands reading a book, with a beard and wearing a robe. The background is detailed with architectural elements, a cloudy sky, and foliage. A skull and a cross are near the central pedestal.
