In the centre, Mary, seated on a high
throne, opens her arms wide to her divine Son in
the centre of her lap, whilst Jesus raises his
right hand in blessing and holds a rolled-up
parchment in the left. Mary is crowned with
a yellow halo behind a white wimple which covers
her hed and fails down over her shoulders. She is
wearing a red tunic and a voluminous blue mantle,
which spreads out in loose folds throughout the
image. In the centre of this blue background the
figure of the Child, dressed in a reddish tunic
and mantle, provides a strikingly effective
contrast.
