This painting by Orazio Gentileschi depicts the Virgin Mary cradling the sleeping Christ Child. The artist was a prominent figure in the Baroque period, known for his dramatic use of light and shadow. The composition, with its soft lines and intimate moment, evokes a sense of tenderness and devotion, characteristic of depictions of the Madonna and Child. The painting's setting, a peaceful landscape with a crumbling wall and a tree, further emphasizes the quiet sanctity of the scene.
