Image description
The artwork is a triptych featuring three panels with religious imagery. In the central panel, the Madonna is seated on a throne holding the Child. She is in a blue robe with gold accents, and the Child is in a gold-patterned garment. Surrounding them are multiple angels with golden halos, set against a golden background. On the left panel, Saint Anthony Abbot is depicted, wearing a dark robe and a hood. He has a long beard and is looking towards the center panel. The background of this panel is also golden. On the right panel, Saint Venantius is shown, wearing a patterned garment and a blue mantle. He holds a cross in his hand. Like the others, he is set against a golden background, with his gaze directed towards the center. The triptych is framed with pointed arches and decorated with intricate details.
