Duccio di Buoninsegna (attrib.), Christ Enthroned

Circa 1285
Fresco
Bardi Chapel, Santa Maria Novella, Florence

As in many images of Christ enthroned, he holds a book on his left thigh and uses his right hand to bless the viewer. In other images the figures on his left and right are usually saints, but it is not uncommon for him to be flanked by angels instead.
