Virgin and Child Enthroned
by SANO di Pietro, Tempera on panel, gold ground, 150 x 58 cm
The Virgin and Child are shown seated on a ledge. What would normally be the backrest of the throne behind them is substituted instead by two red seraphim. Above them Christ is shown as the Redeemer, holding the New Testament in one hand and raising the other hand in blessing.
This panel formed the central part of a now dismembered polyptych flanked by depictions of saints.
