Austrian 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting featuring a divine figure, a supplicant on a hill, and two figures by a stream. The painting shows a robed figure on a green hill, a divine figure emerging from a cloud-like formation, and two individuals interacting with a flowing stream at the base of the hill. The landscape is stylized with earthy tones and a distinct separation between the grassy area and the stream. The artwork is done in the style of medieval manuscript art.
