1 edition published in 1500 and held by 1 library worldwide
The painting depicts the Virgin adoring the Christ child flanked by two saints. The male saint to the left is probably St. John the Evangelist. The female saint to the right has not been convincingly identified. She is generally thought to be the Magdalene, but also has been identified as St. Sophronia based on a reading of the partial inscription on her halo. It has recently been suggested by William Voelkle that this inscription is not a name, but the phrase "Ora pro nobis."
