About the Item

This intimate baroque painting depicts a sleeping child in peaceful repose, rendered with masterful chiaroscuro technique that dramatically contrasts light and shadow across the subject's form. The composition is enhanced by rich textural elements, including sumptuous drapery, flowing fabric, and a glimpse of pastoral landscape visible through an opening, creating a harmonious balance between the figure and the luxurious interior setting. Well presented in a giltwood frame. Unsigned. On canvas on stetchers.
