"Virgin of the Faja" is a painting by Joaquin Manuel Fernandez Cruzado, a Spanish painter who lived from 1781 to 1856. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus, who is being dressed by his mother. An angel looks over the scene. This Baroque-style artwork exemplifies the religious imagery popular during Cruzado's lifetime. The painting's focus on the intimate moment between mother and son portrays a theme of divine motherhood. The soft, painterly brushstrokes and the rich colors of the painting contribute to its emotional impact.
