Virgin of the Rosary with Worshipers is a 1750 oil by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
The painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding a child, surrounded by two worshipers. The Virgin wears a dark dress and a crown, while the child is dressed in a robe. The worshipers are attired in dark robes and head coverings. The Virgin holds a rosary in her right hand, and the child grasps a cross. The worshipers are positioned on either side of the Virgin, with one holding a staff. The background of the painting is dark, with a subtle light source illuminating the figures. This painting is reminiscent of the works of artists who employed chiaroscuro, a technique that utilizes strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume in their compositions.
