The figure is shown with a gentle halo, softly downcast eyes and a serene expression, with classically draped robes in warm red and blue tones — hallmarks of Lippi’s tender and humanistic approach to sacred subjects. The translucent quality of the bone surface lends the flesh tones a natural warmth and luminosity unique to this art form. Set within a richly detailed gilt frame featuring ornate acanthus leaf corner mounts and beaded inner border, typical of late 19th century European craftsmanship. The reverse features a black backing board with triangle hanging hardware and the original blue label from Kunsthandel Gebrs.
