- композиция:
- Virgin and Child sheltering supplicants under Her cloak
- Sheltered beneath the folds of the Madonna's cloak, symbolic of Her protection, are members of the ecclesiastic community (to the left) and secular world (on the right).
- The image reminded Catholic worshippers of the Virgin's role as an intercessor before God, always ready to plead for mercy on behalf of those in physical or spiritual distress.
- Members of the religious orders to the left include a pope (identified by his tiara), a cardinal, and a bishop.
- The secular community counts among its numbers an emperor and knights.
- Virgin stands on a crescent moon, indicating Her role as Queen of Heaven.
- This moon once shone silver, but over time the silver leaf has worn thin, darkened, and revealed the red preparatory layer beneath it.
