Virgin and Child Enthroned
The Virgin, crowned and haloed, sits on a throne draped in red patterned cloth, holding the Christ Child in a pink robe on her lap. Gilded Gothic architecture with arched niches and a barred window frames the scene, and gold leaf lights the panel.
Look closer: A small barred window with a grid of iron bars sits in the upper right architecture.
