Description

Painting shows the Madonna and Child. Mary stands in the centre of the painting wearing a red dress covered by a tan cloak decorated with flowers and leaves, and has lacy cuffs. The garment flares widely at the bottom. She has long brown hair and wears gold hanging earrings. Atop her head is a wide brimmed hat decorated with a green ribbon and three large feathers. In her right hand Mary holds a candlestick with a lit candle, and in her left is the Baby Jesus, who is dressed in a garment very similar to his mother’s, but in brown and tan, and also wears a wide brimmed hat. He holds a stem of flowers in his left hand. The figures are encircled by red, yellow and green flowers around their shoulders and at their feet. A faint image in red and green is printed on the back of the fabric. Part of it reads “PESO 50Kg.”
