- композиция:
- Seated on an elaborate throne, the Virgin's weighty majesty emphasizes Her role as the Queen of Heaven.
- At the same time, She holds the infant Christ tenderly and looks down warmly to the side.
- To the right flutters a goldfinch, which has just flown from Christ's upraised hand.
- Legend holds that a goldfinch, a bird that nests in thorny trees, removed a painful spine from Christ's crown of thorns.
- A drop of Christ's blood fell on the goldfinch, forever giving the bird it's red markings.
