Madonna and Child

Italienische Malerei 1590–1649, 1635/1640

The artwork shows a scene of a woman and a child. The woman, shown from the waist up, is seated with the child on her lap. She has dark hair pulled back and is wearing a red garment with a blue cloak and a light-colored scarf draped around her shoulders. She is looking at the child. The child is mostly nude, with a light cloth draped over his lower body, and he is reaching up, touching the woman's face. The background is a deep, warm brown, which highlights the figures in the foreground. The woman holds a book in her right hand.
