Description of the work:
The painting depicts a classic sacred iconography of the "Madonna and Child," in which the Virgin Mary is depicted half-length, seated, with the infant Jesus in her arms. The composition is collected, intimate and intense: Mary, with a gentle but melancholy gaze, looks at the viewer while the Child, embracing her affectionately, rests his face on her chest.
