Кажется, что лицо Богородица излучает мягкий свет, согревающий всё полотно.
The Virgin is presented in a sitting position within a confined dark space.
Child is streched accross Her lap, His head rests on Virgin's right shoulder, His face turned toward His Mother.
Burckhard says the following of this painting: "The infinite grace of the picture, by where it takes a dreamy hold on the imagination of the spectator, is owing less to the beautiful forms and features than to the exceedingly perfect lines, to the sweep of the movement of the mother and child, to the disposition of the light."
