The crowned Virgin is depicted standing in contrapposto holding the Christ Child over Her hip and handing Him an apple. Her floor-length gown is almost completely obscured by a cloak worn draped around her shoulders and held across Her body to create a rich pattern of folds. The crown possibly ammended, the tips replaced. Minimal wear. Height 102 cm.
