- The Virgin Mary gazes to her right, her hands folded in prayer.

On her head is a circlet of three strands of pearls held with a jewelled catch, and a transparent veil woven of very fine threads.This panel goes with another, showing showing Christ as the Salvator Mundi ('Saviour of the World'), which is also in the National Gallery's collection.
