The Virgin and child is an unspecified by Unknown, depicting Christ Child, held at National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
This painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child. The Virgin is dressed in a red cloak and a black dress, with her eyes closed as if in prayer. She holds the Christ Child in her lap, who is reaching out with his right hand. The Christ Child is nude, with a red cloth draped over his left shoulder. The Virgin's right hand is raised, with her index and middle fingers extended. The background of the painting is dark, which contrasts with the bright colors of the Virgin's cloak and the Christ Child's skin. This painting is reminiscent of the works of the artist who created it, whose use of chiaroscuro and sfumato techniques is evident in the subtle gradations of light and shadow.
