"Old School Virgin And Child Presented To Donors"
Old School – Virgin and Child Presented to Donors, Oil on canvas, 19th century, Giltwood frame. This charming antique painting depicts the Virgin and Child presented to donors, following a classic iconography of European religious painting. The composition shows the Virgin, slightly withdrawn, supporting the Christ Child who extends his arm towards the kneeling donors, figures dressed in black, rendered with gravity and reverence. In the background, a sky enlivened by sketched putti adds depth and a celestial dimension to the whole. The painting is distinguished by a free and lively brushstroke, a sensitive use of paint, and a harmonious palette dominated by browns, greens, and warm flesh tones. The work evokes the style of an artist trained in the great tradition, in a late Baroque spirit. Presented in a well-preserved 19th-century carved and giltwood frame, it elegantly showcases the painting. A decorative and devotional work, ideal for a lover of Old Master paintings or for a home seeking a piece of character. Good overall condition (very slight signs of wear)
