## Commentary

The painting depicts the Madonna and Child before a cloth-of-honour held aloft by two angels. The composition can be associated with Benozzo Gozzoli&#39;s Mystic Marriage of St Catherine, which also shows the Christ Child blessing seated on his mother&#39;s lap, before a cloth-of-honour held aloft by two angels.
