Virgin and Child is a 1550 oil by Unknown, a Mannerism work, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman holding a baby. The woman is wearing a dark dress with a white cloth wrapped around her head and shoulders. She is looking down at the baby, who is naked and wrapped in a white cloth. The baby is reaching up to touch the woman's face. The woman's face is serene, and the baby looks curious. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the woman and baby stand out. The painting is done in oil paint, which gives it a rich, textured look.
