I really enjoy the contrast in this piece between the precise Mary and the realistic texture of her clothes and the cherubs looking like jelly babies, along with some odd looking kids. I honestly can’t think why they made choices they did.

Yeah, the eyes are definitely too high - should be centre of the skull. This is early renaissance, I guess they dlhadnt got proportions down yet.
