Virgin And Child, French School of the 18th Century

Oil on oval canvas, mounted on cardboard, depicting the Virgin Mary looking directly at the viewer, her right hand outstretched, the Infant Jesus on her shoulders holding a goldfinch.

The scene is remarkably realistic, as if the Virgin, with her troubled expression, were trying to convey a message, in contrast to the jovial Child.

Cleaning is recommended. Original oval wooden frame.

Dimensions with frame: 57 x 45 cm
