Our reproduction is based on a marble relief, Virgin and Child, by the
Renaissance sculptor Mino da Fiesole (Italian [Florentine], 1429-1484).
The original relief, now in the Museum's collection, depicts the Virgin
holding the Christ Child, seated on a cushion, with her veil falling
over his lap. The baby Christ holds in his left hand an orb surmounted
by a cross while he raises his right hand in benediction-symbols
associated with Christ. Both figures appear gracefully subdued, as if
engaged in silent contemplation. The tender, protective gesture of the
Virgin's right hand is especially poignant.
