About the piece

Attributed to Jacques Sarazin circa 1645, this oil on canvas captures a tender moment of quiet adoration. The Virgin Mary is rendered with a luminous profile and hands clasped in prayer, while the Christ Child rests peacefully beneath a draped curtain, all set against a deep, atmospheric background characteristic of the French Baroque period.
