The Virgin Mary is crowned Queen of
Heaven by God the Father and Jesus
Christ at the same time. The Holy
Ghost, appears above them in the
form of a dove, occupying the upper
vertex of a rhombus formed by the
four figures.
This work is based on a print by
Albrecht Dürer. Various similar
versions of it exist, including the
one painted for the parish church
of Talavera la Vieja (Toledo),
which is now at the Monastery of
Guadalupe.
It is signed in lowercase Greek
letters at the bottom right.
