This piece measures 10" X 7". It is very old with the frame in metal on wood. I believe it is by Stephen Lochner, or a very good copy of his work. There are two angels in the top corners with four angels at the bottom playing instruments. The Madonna is backed by six angels. At the center top is a depiction of a man with long grey hair and a gray beard with a dove.

You can see it is modeled after"Madonna of the Rose Bush" by Stefan Lochner.

also found as "Madonna of the rose Garden" and "Madonna of the Rose Bower"
it's very beautiful.
The original of the "Muttergottes in der Rosenlaube" by Stefan Lochner is in the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum in Köln.
