Madonna with the child Jesus is a 1870 oil by Gyula Benczúr, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
This painting shows a woman and a baby. The woman is wearing a red dress with a white collar and cuffs. She has her hair pulled back, and she's looking down at the baby. The baby is naked and sitting on her lap. He's holding a rose in his right hand. The background is dark and mottled. The woman's face is serious, but the baby looks happy. The woman's hands are gentle as she holds the baby. The baby's legs are bare, and his feet are small. The painting is done in oil paint. It's a realistic style, with lots of detail. You can see the texture of the woman's dress and the baby's skin. The painting is held at the Hungarian National Gallery. If you want to learn more about the artist, look up Gyula Benczúr.
