Menghina Quiets Cacasenno with a Chestnut Cake

Giuseppe Maria Crespi and Ludovico Mattioli

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures - an adult standing and a child at knee level. The adult has a serene facial expression with soft features and tied-up hair. They are wearing a long robe with loose sleeves. The child is looking up at the adult, holding onto their knees. The child is in a long garment with a cap, barefoot. The background shows an outdoor space with rocks, plants, shrubs, and a cloudy sky.
