Virgin and Child, Antonio Rizzo, c. 1465 - c. 1470 Around relief with Mary standing behind a plinth, on which the child stands Jesus, presented by her to the viewer by the gesture of her right hand. Jesus holds his mother's left hand and makes a blessing gesture with his right arm and hand, which qualifies him as a salvator. In the background an angel comes floating on a cloud; The rest of the background consists of horizontal, stripe -shaped cloud formations. The whole is framed by an inner edge of wide beads, always alternated by two flat, standing beads; Around a Frisian of connected palmet
