European school, end of XVIII century-early XIX century.
"Virgin and Child.
Oil on copper.
Period frame.
It presents losses of paint.
Measurements: 21 x 16 cm; 37 x 32 cm (frame).
Devotional image representing the Virgin in prayerful attitude before the placidly sleeping body of the Child Jesus. Stylistically, the painting is ascribed to a period of transition to neoclassicism. Care is taken with the glazes and transparencies to describe the fineness of the Marian veil and the sheet edged with lace. Intense hallmarks of light modulate the faces, whose white flesh tones seem to give off a light of their own.
