Madonna and Child

Madonna and Child, a painting by Giovanni Bellini, dated 1510. 



The artwork depicts the Virgin Mary seated, holding the Christ Child. Mary is dressed in a dark blue robe over a crimson undergarment, with a white veil draped over her head. The Christ Child, nude except for a white cloth around his waist, sits on her lap, his gaze directed slightly downward. 



The background features a landscape with a green curtain to the left and a glimpse of a hilly, brownish landscape to the right, under a partly cloudy sky. The painting is characterized by Bellini's signature soft modeling and subtle use of light and shadow. The artist's signature, "IOANNES BELLINVS," is visible in the lower right corner. The size of the artwork is not provided in the metadata.
