Gherardo Starnina produced this panel as part of a much larger altarpiece featuring the Virgin and Child surrounded by angels and saints; other fragments of the original composition are dispersed across several museums and private collections. The Barnes piece shows an angel singing and playing a vielle (a medieval stringed instrument). The blue shapes along the panel's right side represent a cloud and the edge of a mandorla, an almond-shaped halo that usually envelops the body of the Virgin Mary in the art of late medieval Italy.
