Virgin Bowing to Instruments of the Passion

Pierre Brebiette

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a seated woman covered by a draped garment, with her head slightly turned downward. She has her hands over her chest. To her left, there are small figures of an infant holding an object and another figure reclining with wings on their backs. There is a simple background with a column on the left side and a lightly sketched sky on the right with cloud-like forms. Objects are at the feet of the woman.
