This is the finest among the surviving small-scale images of the Virgin and Child by Giovanni Santi, father of Raphael. Santi, like other Renaissance artists, often borrowed figures and motifs from other painters. The parapet, cloth of honour and the rich textiles, as well as the landscape with its clumps of spherical trees and distant blue mountains, are all typical of Netherlandish painting.
