The Virgin herself, a rather cool blonde with pale grey, unfocused eyes and a long nose, stands in a strangely claustrophobic classical space. She is framed by an arch, which rises from two columns standing on the parapet. Behind her is a curved stone wall; two haloed heads, presumably angels, peer over it.
The artist, Giovanni Francesco da Rimini, inscribed his name in Latin and the date, 1461, on the front of the marble parapet. He worked in Padua among other places, and was heavily influenced by the painter Squarcione, who ran a painting school there.
