Label TextIn this painting, the Virgin Mary holds the infant Christ flanked by the aged Saint Jerome, on the left, and Saint Sebastian — pierced by an arrow, representing his martyrdom — on the right. Christ plays with the ring on the Virgin’s finger, an action that brings attention to this symbol of her spiritual devotion to Christ. The artist captures both the tender gaze of the Virgin and the playfulness of the Christ Child.Status
