Cathedral

Cathedral shows the Virgin Mary seated on a throne on the right, wearing a deep blue mantle and halo, as an angel in pale pink and green-winged garments approaches from the left through an arched doorway and extends a gesture toward her. A small lectern with an open book stands between them, set against a pale gold background and an interior with arches, columns, and a coffered ceiling that recedes into space. The composition is balanced and hierarchical, rendered in the Italo-Byzantine style with linear drapery, serene faces, and a restrained palette of gold, blue, and pink.
