About the piece
This sophisticated oil painting, attributed to Bernardino Licinio, depicts a Venetian lady adorned in a rich gown and a traditional balzo headpiece. The composition centers on her maternal connection with her son, whose upward gaze creates a sense of intimacy and devotion. Set against a dark interior with a glimpse of a mountainous landscape through a window, the work exemplifies the dignified yet soulful character of Renaissance portraiture.
