Description of the Work

Seventeenth-century painting showing the Virgin as she cares for the Child, characterized by a classicism typical of the Emilian school.

The soft light and delicate gestures create an atmosphere of intimate sacredness, while the dark background brings out the plasticity of the faces and the folds of the fabrics.
