17th-century Painting Of The Virgin And Child

Madonna and Child with Saint Joseph

Oil on wood panel depicting the Virgin Mary holding the Infant Jesus, with Saint Joseph in the background. This composition, characteristic of the 17th-century Italian or Spanish school, is distinguished by the softness of the faces, the richness of the colors, and a restrained treatment of light.

The work is set in an antique carved and gilded wooden frame decorated with stylized foliage, which perfectly highlights the painting. The surface features a network of natural craquelure consistent with its age, without detracting from the overall clarity of the image.

The reverse side reveals an old construction on a wooden panel, confirming the traditional technique of the period.
