Jungfrau Maria und Kind umarmend

The Virgin and Child Embracing

As the Virgin and Child tenderly embrace, Saint Joseph is visible through the doorway beyond. This devotional work is painted in a highly polished manner, particularly noticeable in the smooth depiction of the Virgin's blue cloak. The 17th-century Bolognese frame has crushed marble added to the plaster, in which wooden beads are half-buried.
