Description

In the middle of a rocky landscape the Burning Bush is depicted; above the bush is visible the upper part of the body of the Holy Virgin inscribed in a burning circle, with an inscription with white, capital letters written in a ligature: ''Mother of God''. She is holding a medallion with Jesus, who is giving with his right hand the benediction. A flying angel to the left is moving his hand to Moses adressing to him, Moses is standing at the left holding a staff in his right hand and turns his head to angel. In front of the scene the figure of Moses is painted once more; Moses bends to unlace his shoes.
