The Virgin and Child Enthroned is a small oil-on-oak panel painting dated c.

1433,
usually attributed to the Early Netherlandish artist Rogier van der Weyden, and
closely related to his Madonna Standing. The panel is filled with Christian
iconography, including representations of prophets, the Annunciation, Christ's
infancy and resurrection, and Mary's Coronation. It is generally accepted as the
earliest extant work by van der Weyden, one of three works attributed to him of the
Virgin and Child enclosed in a niche on an exterior wall of a Gothic church. The
panel is housed in the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, in Madrid. It seems to be the
left-hand wing of a dismantled diptych, perhaps with the Saint George and the
Dragon panel now in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. As an early van
der Weyden, it takes influence from Robert Campin and Jan van Eyck. Van der Weyden
served his apprenticeship under Campin, and the older master's style is noticeable
in the architecture of the niche and in the Virgin's face, hair and exposed breast.
