Description of the Work

Late Gothic work from the Marche region of Italy.

Characterized by an almost metallic definition of the contours and an opulent use of the gold background.

The expressiveness of the face, combined with the meticulous attention to detail in the robes and sacred attributes, reflects the refined tradition of the Crivelli workshop.
