Caption

Virgin and Child with Saint Anne and Saints Francis and Lidwina, with Donors (Anna Selbdritt), c.1490-c.1500. St Anne is seated on a high throne beneath a canopy in a landscape, with her daughter Mary and grandson Jesus at her feet. Hanging behind them is a brocade cloth. The curtains of the canopy are held aloft by angels. Members of an unidentified family are kneeling on either side of the throne. On the left is the father, who is being presented by St Francis displaying the wound in his side, and his five sons, several of whom are monks or friars. On the right is the mother with St Lidwina and three daughters. Kneeling at the foot of the throne are five children, with a slightly older little boy to the left of them.
