Virgin and Child in a Landscape

Jan Gossaert

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a woman wearing a blue dress with gold trim and a white head covering. The woman's head is tilted down towards a baby sitting on her lap. The baby is naked and holds something in their left hand. The woman's right hand rests on the baby's back. The background features a landscape with trees, buildings, and a body of water. A mountain range is visible in the distance under a blue sky. The painting is framed in gold with ornate details. The frame has an inscription at the top and bottom. The overall scene depicts a serene moment between the woman and child.
