She is dressed in a blue mantle that extends into a veil and a pink dress. Christ?s right hand and feet rest on the Virgin?s mantle, which extends broadly around her.
This chapel also features another late 15th-century Virgin whose polychromy has largely disappeared, a modern-day Christ on the Cross, a third Virgin of Piety and a Virgin, both from the same period.
