The Madonna and Child Enthroned with a Bishop Saint and a Kneeling Ecclesiastic

Luigi Brenta

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing depicting a religious scene. In the center is a figure seated on a throne or elevated chair, with a halo around their head. Another smaller figure is seated on their knee. To the left stands a figure in a robe with a pointed hat and staff. To the right, another figure bends forward. Below the central figure, two cherubic figures are depicted. The drawing is done in a monochrome palette of browns and sepia tones with delicate shading. A rectangular border frames the scene.
