- Description
- The painting depicts a Guardian Angel painted in full profile, holding a child in his care, holding an open book in his left hand. The angel points the way with his raised right hand, while his left hand touches the child's side in a protective gesture. The scene is set in a landscape on a plain, with mountains, trees and an overcast sky visible in the distance.
