This is a different version of the work discussed in Quest, which I was unable to find. I think it's similar enough not to matter. I'm not sure that the reference information given in Quest is correct (p. 270). For more information, see Three Tathagatas at http://www.asianart.com/exhibitions/svision/i23.html 


Madonna Enthroned
by Cimabue. c. 1285.
