571 - The Virgin and Child within an oval frame. Spanish School of Granada. 17th century.

The Virgin and Child within an oval frame. Spanish School of Granada. 17th century. Oil on copper. Dimensions: 25.5 x 20.5 cm. The Virgin is depicted within an oval frame, tenderly embracing the Child in an intimate and maternal scene. Both faces lean gently forward in a gesture of affection, highlighting the Virgin’s melancholic expressiveness. The dark background, the directed lighting, and the interplay of folds in the cloak emphasize the restrained drama. The composition and technical execution reflect the aesthetics of Andalusian Baroque, particularly the Granada style of the mid-17th century, influenced by Alonso Cano. The frame, profusely decorated with plant motifs, reinforces the devotional nature of the work. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist.
