No. 1986.—THE VIRGIN AND CHILD AND THE CHANCELLOR ROLIN

(La Vierge au donateur)

An angel in a blue alb and with peacock-blue wings is placing an

elaborate gold crown on the head of the Madonna, who holds the

Infant Christ on her knee, and is seated towards the right of

the composition. On the other side the Chancellor, kneeling at

a _prie-Dieu_, and with his hands joined in adoration, wears a

richly brocaded robe, and is seen in profile towards the right. The

figures are grouped in a portico opening on to a flower-garden and

a crenellated wall; in the distance is seen a seven-arched bridge,

and beyond it a castled island.

Painted in oil on panel.
