The Madonna and Child in a Rosary

Französische Grafik 1285–1700, ca. 1490

The image shows a full-body illustration of a person holding a child, both facing slightly to one side. The adult figure has long hair, a crown, and a serene expression. They are wearing draped garments, giving a regal look. A radiant pattern surrounds them, resembling a sunburst or halo, with the figures standing on a crescent shape. The border features intricate floral and leaf patterns. The background is textured paper with decorative elements, and there are ornamental symbols on the border. A ribbon or banner at the bottom displays unreadable text.
