MOTHER OF GOD WITH CHILDREN, baroque, 18th century
Figurative representation of the Mother of God with the Child. Mary was shown in a counterpoint, with her left hand supporting the future Savior of the World. Her slender body was wrapped in a heavy, cascading robe.
The Child threw his chubby little hand over his Mother's shoulder. He is holding an apple in his left hand, referring to the redemption of mankind.
