Small, refined devotional image, Italian School, 17th century, depicting the Madonna with the Christ Child and the Young Saint John. Intimate, delicate composition centred on the affectionate exchange between the sacred figures, treated with particular gentleness of face and gesture. The presence of the Young Saint John beside the Madonna and Child lends the scene a private character, suited to domestic devotion.
Oil on glass; carved and gilt-wood frame, well matched to the taste of the image. The reverse retains an old handwritten label noting the subject and a traditional attribution, understood as a historical collecting reference.
