Devotional painting of Marian theme and nineteenth-century school of Belgian authorship. The Virgin appears represented in the interior of a tondo with open hands showing her palms. It is a welcoming gesture that symbolizes the role of protective mother. Her face has idealized and benevolent features. The blue eyes glow with an inner light. The mantle covers hair and body and folds in naturalistic draperies at the waist. A halo of white light surrounds the figure. Color and drawing balance each other in this classicist composition of careful strokes and bright shades.
