Madonna and Child Painting

This beautiful circular painting, known as a tondo, features the Virgin Mary cradling the Christ Child. Mary's gaze is thoughtful, her head gently wrapped in a light veil, and she wears richly colored garments of green and reddish-orange. The plump infant Jesus, dressed in yellow, looks directly out, engaging the viewer. To their right, another young figure, perhaps John the Baptist or an angel, observes the sacred pair with a curious expression. The composition is intimate, set against a dark background, highlighting the tender connection between the figures in this classic religious scene.
