The Infant Christ with the Instruments of the Passion is a 1610 oil by Unknown, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
The painting depicts a young boy with curly hair, dressed in a long, flowing robe, sitting on a large cross. He holds a crown of thorns in his right hand and a nail in his left. The background features a serene landscape with trees and a blue sky. The boy's facial expression is calm, and his gaze is directed downward. The cross he sits on is prominent, and the crown of thorns and nail are symbols of the Passion of Christ. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. This painting is a representation of the Infant Christ, and it is held at the Ashmolean Museum.
