Immaculate Conception

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman holding a child, both wearing crowns. The woman is standing, supporting the child with one arm and holding an orb with the other. She has soft facial features, long hair, and is wearing a flowing robe and veil. The child has similar features and is seated on the woman's arm. Both have halos of light around them, and the background features angels with wings amidst clouds.
