Sagrada Familia

In this simple composition, the Virgin is depicted as a young woman, without a headdress and with flowing hair, holding the naked Child seated on a cushion while leafing through a book. On the right, St. Joseph, depicted as an old bald man, smilingly attends the scene, his hands folded on a crutch. The figures stand out in the foreground and are perfectly cropped against a black background./ Excerpted from: A.A.V.V.: Gómez-Moreno Institute (catalog).
