The Apparition of the Virgin to the Dying Pedro Faverio is a 1617 oil by Vincenzo Carducci, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
This painting depicts a scene of a man lying on a bed, with a woman in a red robe and blue skirt sitting beside him. The woman is holding a baby, and there are several cherubs surrounding them. The man is wearing a white robe and has his hands clasped together in prayer. The painting is done in oil paint, and the colors are muted, with shades of brown and beige dominating the scene. The woman's robe is a deep red, and the baby is dressed in white. The cherubs are depicted in various poses, some playing instruments and others flying around the woman and child.
