About the piece
Painted in 1826 by Frédéric Delanoë, this oil sketch (esquisse) was created as a preparatory work for the Church of Saint-Jacques-du-Haut-Pas in Paris. The composition depicts Mary and the Christ child at the center, accompanied by Joseph and a young Saint John the Baptist, rendered with soft lighting and a soulful, traditional palette.
