Visual Summary

Brief Description

Madonna in blue and white holds a nude infant Jesus reaching for a small bird

Detailed Description

The painting depicts the Madonna and Child in a vertical format. Mary, positioned slightly to the left of center, is shown from the waist up, looking down towards the infant Jesus. She wears a white head covering that drapes over her shoulders and a deep blue robe with gold trim, which covers her arms and lap. Her left hand supports the child's back, while her right hand is open, palm up, holding a small brown bird. The infant Jesus, nude and seated on Mary's lap, faces left and extends his right hand towards the bird, appearing to grasp it. His left arm rests on Mary's left arm. The background behind Mary is divided. To the left, a vibrant red curtain hangs vertically, partially revealing a light-colored landscape with distant hills under a pale sky. Adjacent to the red curtain, a narrow vertical band features dark, possibly calligraphic, text or decorative script. To the right, a dark green fabric with an intricate gold pattern of swirling motifs and small floral designs fills the rest of the background. A circular emblem with an 'M' shape is visible in the upper right corner of this patterned fabric. The overall lighting highlights the figures against the darker background.
