About this work

A woman in blue and red robes holds a baby who grips a prune. Soft light falls on their faces. The background is flat gold, typical of early paintings. Lucas Cranach the Elder painted this in the 1500s. He often showed Mary with Jesus this way. It’s one of many versions he made. Look for the round prune in the baby’s hand. Compare it to Cranach cel Bătrân, Lucas.
