    I live in Spain, and have seen a ton of Murillo’s paintings, but this one passed me by. Somehow it looks more “the school of” than original, tbh.

    (best viewed by Google Chrome – can translate pages if necessary) has info and links that point to info about this painting.

    has info about this artist. 

    http://www.all-art.org/history252-23.html 

    has more about him (click any of his name links). So far, 4 works by him have been used here.

     

    http://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2014/12/19?comments=visible 

    has the prior work (which, sadly, still has the embedded image and 27 hyperlinks in my comment and reply there, inactive @#$%&!).

     

    This time, only a slightly larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #1814 (October 31, 2017) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment; so, I won’t point to it here.
