Virgin and Child

Lorenzo di Credi

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a woman in a red dress and white head covering sitting with a baby on her lap. The woman's head is tilted down towards the baby, and she appears to be breastfeeding or about to breastfeed the child. The baby is naked and is holding one of the woman's hands. The woman sits on a blue cloth, with a green cloth over her shoulder. A landscape scene with trees, water, and a building is visible through a window behind them. The window has a curtain pulled back, and there is an archway to the right. The painting's color palette includes shades of red, white, blue, green, and brown.
