From the collection of Nationalmuseum
The Virgin and the Sleeping Child is an oil by Unknown, held at Nationalmuseum.
This painting depicts the Virgin Mary and a sleeping child, likely Jesus, in a tender moment. The Virgin is dressed in a blue robe with a red undergarment, and her head is covered with a white veil. She sits beside the child, who is lying on his back with his head tilted to the side. The child's right arm is bent, and his left arm is straight, with his hand resting on his stomach. The Virgin's hands are clasped together in front of her, and she gazes down at the child with a gentle expression. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the figures in the foreground. The overall mood of the painting is one of serenity and devotion.
