Madonna and Child

Francesco Botticini

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a woman and a baby. The woman has fair skin, long blonde hair, and wears a pink dress with a dark green cloak over her shoulders. A gold halo surrounds her head. She sits and looks down at the baby. The baby has fair skin and short light-brown hair, and is naked. He sits on the woman's lap and sucks his finger. The background shows a landscape with mountains, a body of water, and several boats. A blue sky is above. The woman and baby are in the foreground, occupying most of the frame.
