Madonna and Child with John the Baptist

Orazio Farinati after Paolo Farinati

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a seated woman with two cherubic children. The woman is seated under a tree, draped in garments with her hair styled back. She holds one child on her lap while the other stands beside her. The woman has a serene expression. The background displays mountains, a body of water with boats, and a town near the water's edge. Ruins and pillars are visible in the scene.
