Virgin With Child Jesus. Gouache On Parchment. 17th Or 18th Century.

Virgin with Child Jesus.
Gouache on parchment.  
17th or 18th century.  

Width: 19cm
Height: 25c

The child Jesus is holding the white lilies, symbol of Mary.  
The composition has a curtain behind which he glimpses the division into squares, barely visible.  
Delicatissimi is a refined drawing of the Madonna's face.  
The parchment is placed on a wooden tablet, which gives support and stability to the parchment sheet.  On the back of the panel there is an inscription in French: “Ce tableax apartien a Monsieur… (hardly legible) ou a ses héritiers.”  
Slight traces of division into squares can be glimpsed on the curtain.  
Small deficiencies but apparently absent old restorations.
