Christ and the Virgin with Music-Making Angels

Johann Friedrich Overbeck

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of figures sitting on clouds. In the center are two individuals with halos and wearing flowing garments, one with long hair. They are holding hands. Around them are angelic figures with wings and robes, displaying serene expressions. One angel plays a stringed instrument, and another holds an open book. The scene is framed within a triangular architectural arch. The background is plain.
