The Virgin And Child Enthroned, c1500. Mary is distinguished by the embroidered cloth behind her. At her feet is a fertile, walled garden symbolizing her virgin motherhood. She holds Jesus in her lap as he turns the pages of a devotional book. In the background, two figures, distracted by the world, seem unaware of the angels praying nearby.
