Le voeu à la madone is a 1835 oil by Jean-Claude Bonnefond, a Realism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
This painting depicts three women in a dimly lit room, with one woman sitting on the floor and the other two standing behind her. The woman on the floor is barefoot and has a cloth wrapped around her head, while the two standing women wear long dresses and head coverings. The room's walls are adorned with stone pillars and a large stone pedestal. A faint light source, possibly from a window or candle, illuminates the scene, casting shadows on the walls and creating a sense of depth. The overall atmosphere is somber and contemplative.
