Large Madonna And Child
18th-century Virgin and Child, executed in gesso-coated and gilded canvas, using the technique known in Italian as *tela gessata e dorata*.
The Virgin is depicted standing, holding the Infant Jesus in her left arm. Her flowing cloak forms deep diagonal folds that enliven the silhouette. The weathered gilding highlights the relief of the drapery and reveals browner tones in the recesses in places.
The group rests on a dark-painted wooden base. Wear on the gilding and visible chips are evident, particularly on the base.
Total height including the base: 80 cm
