Virgin and Child Adored by Saint Francis

The Virgin in a red gown and blue mantle sits on a cloud holding the Christ Child, who grasps a pink flower. Winged angels flank them, and Saint Francis kneels on a grassy hillside in a brown habit, gazing upward toward the vision above a distant landscape.
