About the piece

Created around 1670, this serene oil painting by Spanish master Bartolomé Esteban Murillo depicts Saint Rose of Lima with the Christ child. The work is a prime example of Murillo’s 'vaporoso' style, characterized by soft, hazy outlines and a delicate, warm palette that imbues the sacred scene with a sense of domestic intimacy and profound peace.
