The Virgin Mary and Christ Child sit enthroned in glory in this panel made in late medieval Siena. Christ's rather pneumatic physique reflects both the Byzantine icon tradition as well as an emergent naturalism. Accompanying Mary and Christ are two prayerful angels and the early Christian saints Antony Abbot and Katherine of Alexandria; a small Crucifixion occupies the gable. This image was the center panel of a triptych, whose wings would have displayed the Annunciation and other saints.
