Adolescent Virgin decorated by Angels in the presence of Joachim and Saint Anne is a 1634 oil by Gaspar de Crayer, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This painting depicts a serene scene of a young girl, likely the Adolescent Virgin, being adorned by angels in the presence of her parents, Joachim and Saint Anne. The girl stands at the center, wearing a red robe, while the angels place a crown on her head and hold flowers. Her parents look on with gentle expressions, surrounded by a subtle landscape in the background. The painting's use of warm colors and soft lighting creates a sense of intimacy and reverence. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the delicate folds of the clothing and the gentle expressions of the figures.
