Virgin Adoring the Child

Jean Morin, after Titian

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a woman seated with her hands together in front of her. She appears to be looking downward at the infant in front of her. She has delicate facial features and wears a head covering. The infant is lying on a cloth surface, with its right hand slightly raised. There is a faint halo above the woman's head. The background shows a dark, indistinct setting with a wooden structure and a thatched roof.
