The work, a typical example of mid-fourteenth-century Florentine late-Gothic painting, depicts the Virgin enthroned with the Child surrounded by a solemn court of six angels. While four of them are caught in an attitude of adoration at the sides of the throne, the two in the foreground celebrate the divine through music: one is playing a portable organ and the other a vielle.
