The Coronation of the Virgin

Deutsche Grafik um 1480, 1480/1490

The image shows three male figures and a central female figure from the waist up, seated in a triangular arrangement. The two male figures on the sides extend their right arms towards the female figure's head, holding parts of a crown above her head. Both men have halos. The figure on the left has shoulder-length brown hair and a beard, and the figure on the right has gray hair and a beard. They are dressed in long robes, with the left figure in a brown robe and the right figure in a deep red mantle over a green garment. The central female figure has long blond hair and wears a blue and gold robe over a beige dress, with a halo over her head. An additional figure, likely a dove with outstretched wings, is seen above the crown in the sky. The background is off-white with a hint of blue, enclosed in an orange border.
