Kneeling Donor
Unknownabout 1440–1450
The J. Paul Getty Museum
Los Angeles, United States
A kneeling female figure is shown with a scroll that reads, O mater dey memento mey (O Mother of God remember me). Both the woman and the inscription are set under an arch within a dense architectural setting. It is likely that the figure represents a donor who would have faced a panel showing a subject with the Virgin Mary.
