STANDING out from a green background, the Virgin,
seated, can be seen as far as her knees. She wears
a large dull - red mantle thrown over a dark blue dress
with gold sleeves, and holds against her the standing Child.

A large number of replicas of this Virgin are known
to be still extant, some of them bearing a relation to the
manner of Isenbrant, others to that of Ambrosius Benson;
some others seem to derive from Quinten Metsys. In his
well - informed book on Van der Weyden, Mr. Friedrich
Winkler enumerates several of these replicas, and proves that
this composition must come from Rogier; to demonstrate this
fact, he bases himself principally on a drawing preserved in
the Dresden Collection of Prints, which in a style related
to that of Van der Weyden, shows the Virgin in the same
position as ours, but in this case, seated on the floor under
a pillared portico opening partly upon a landscape. tf_.
