About the piece

Created in 1866 by Émile Vernet-Lecomte as a sketch for the Church of Saint-Louis-en-l'Île, this oil painting captures a tender moment of religious revelation. The work features soft, focused lighting on the young Christ child, contrasting with the warm, earthy tones of the architecture and Saint Teresa's habit.
