The Virgin is crowned by angels and thus the emphasis is on her role as the Queen of Heaven. Some parts of this tondo are of higher quality in execution than others and may reflect the participation of several members of the workshop. It has been suggested that this painting dates from the 1490s and that it may be based on a design by Botticelli.
