Detail of the fresco depicting the Virgin Mary seated on a wooden bench, which seems to protrude from the wall. She is portrayed in the act of supporting the Child standing on her right knee. The Child is clinging with his left hand to his mother's tunic, as if to better hold himself up. In the lower part of the fresco is the inscription 'Agniolus Toni Angeli fecit fieri MDXXII'.
