The Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus, standing on a bed of clouds. She is dressed in a red gown with a scarf over her shoulders, a blue over-skirt, and a tan veil over her head. She is glancing down but the adorable baby with tousled hair gazes frankly at us. Kneeling before them are Saint Sixtus (who gives the painting its name) with his papal tiara, and Saint Barbara. All are framed by a pair of green curtains, behind which the faces of angels or souls are dimly seen. Two whimsical putti (baby angels) are also in attendance. See RAP001-D for a chart of just Mary and Jesus, or RAP004 for a chart of the putti. (1513)
