Abschied Mariä von den Aposteln

The scene centers on Mary seated on a raised platform to the right, wearing a dark blue mantle and an orange undergarment, with a calm, forward-facing posture. A group of apostles surrounds her on the left and in the background, some kneeling with hands raised in prayer, each figure given a gold halo and elongated, contemplative features. The setting is an interior with arches, a column, and a wooden-beamed ceiling; the palette uses warm earth tones with blues and reds, and Duccio’s refined line work and formal, hieratic composition characteristic of his early Sienese style.
