The Madonna Enthroned with Saint John the Baptist and Saint John the Evangelist
The image shows five individuals arranged in a symmetrical composition. In the center, a seated woman holds a child. Two other seated figures are on either side of them, each holding a symbolic object. The central figures have styled hair and appear with halos. Two kneeling angels with wings are in the foreground, facing the central subjects and holding scrolls. Draped curtains in the background frame the scene.
