Madonna and Child in a Glory with an Indulgence and a Prayer

Deutsche Grafik 1460–1470, c. 1470/1480

The image shows a medieval manuscript page with a partial depiction of figures on the left side. The scene captures the upper bodies of two individuals within a rectangular panel. One figure appears to be an adult holding a child in their arms. The adult has long hair and wears a crown or halo, while the child also has a halo and is wrapped in a garment. Both figures wear red and gold clothing. The background features a golden texture. Flanking the figures on the right is a passage of text in an ornate typeface.
