A full, click-to-enlarge image can be found here.Virgin and Child (links show Wikipedia pages) is shown, with a different coloration image (click-to-enlarge image compliments of its Google Cultural Institute page), by its current-location page.A description can be found here. The artist/teacher (bio) featured children in several of his works. His Wikipedia page (Google translated French Wikipedia page is longer) and collection (many more under Subcategories at each level).Seventh, of the 8 works, by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here (7 total).
Reminds me of the story of the old gentleman with heavily accented English (trying to keep this PC here) whose family prospered mightily, and in gratitude his kids built him a new house. He was thrilled, but said it needed a “halo statue.” So they tried Jesus, Mary, St. Joseph, St. Francis, all to no avail.
Finally they told him “We don’t know what you want.” And he said "You have all this education, you’re doctors, lawyers and professors, and you still don’t get it? I want one of those things, it rings and you pick it up and say “Halo, statue?”
