Madonna and Child with Saint Anthony Abbot and Saint Sigismund

Italienische Malerei 1480–1495, hacia 1490/1495

This painting shows four people, three adults and one child. On the left, an elderly man stands, holding a staff in one hand and a red book in the other. He has a long white beard and a balding head, and he wears a black robe. Next to him, in the center, a woman sits, slightly turned to the left and leaning forward, with her hands supporting a child in her lap. The woman wears a red dress with a dark blue hooded cloak, while the child is nude. To the right, another adult stands wearing a pink robe with a crown over their shoulder-length hair, holding a rod and a sphere. All of the people have pale skin, and the three on the right have blond hair. They all have golden halos around their heads. The background is golden, and the floor has a marbled tile pattern. A small brown pig is on the ground at the feet of the old man.
