Madonna's color rose directly.
Under an arch is draped a canopy held up by angels; under this, again, sits the Madonna with the Child on her lap, on a throne, at the foot of which, on each side, stand three saints. The outline of the whole is markedly pyramidal; in fact, there are, broadly speaking, three pyramids, of the arch, the canopy, and the grouping.
"Come to one of the smaller picture galleries," he said, "and as we go I'll show you a portrait of my mother." "Your mother? I did not know she had had a portrait done. By whom?"
