This is a detail from this painting:

Image description of full painting: huge painting, framed, of the Christian Madonna with baby Jesus in her lap. She is seated on a throne. To her left is a blue-robed religious figure with a bishop hat. To her right is a kneeling white-robed man and a standing armored man. There are tiny statues to her left and right, one of which is the detail image.
