The Virgin In Prayer, Oil On Copper, 17th Century

Oil on copper, 17th century, small devotional painting, French school. This delicate painting depicts the Virgin Mary in bust form, her hands clasped in prayer. Her slightly inclined head and gentle gaze convey a profound spiritual introspection. The intimate, compact composition is characteristic of 17th-century private devotional images. The treatment of the face, with its elongated and delicate features, as well as the use of chiaroscuro, demonstrate a tempered Baroque influence typical of the French school.

Good overall condition. Some wear and minor imperfections are visible, consistent with the age of the work. The surface has a uniform patina.
Later period frame.
