The painting depicts Saint Anne (Mary's mother) seated on the right and pointing to a book, while the young Mary, standing on the left, follows the reading. Symbolism: The book symbolizes divine wisdom and Mary's preparation for her future role. Mary's dress features the classic color combination of a white robe (purity) and a blue cloak (divinity/heaven). The work is fully in keeping with the 18th century. The painting belongs to the Neapolitan school, which spans the 17th and 18th centuries. There are no significant restorations. Cleaning and re-lining are recommended. The frame is modern. Painting size: 50 cm by 40 cm
