"The Child Holding The Cross – 17th Century "
French School of the 17th century. A tender oil on copper. The haloed Christ, seated in a pastoral landscape, holds the Cross in his right hand, like an inescapable destiny.
This iconography is typical of pious representations of the Baby Jesus meditating on his future Passion. He points with his left hand to a wicker basket, a discreet symbol of a bearer of nourishment, here spiritual.
