Madonna of Humility with a Donor and Angels

This painting has much in common with other small devotional panels by Zanino di Pietro. The pose of the Madonna and in particular her cloak, with its green underside and embroidered brim that weaves its way round rather like a ribbon, may be compared to those in Zanino’s other panels.
