Continental School Oil on Canvas, Madonna and Child with St. John - 19th-century (after Raphael), a finely rendered oil on canvas depicting the Madonna and child with the Young St. John the Baptist, after the Renaissance master Raphael's celebrated tondo compositions. The Virgin Mary is shown with serene expression, tenderly hodling the Christ Child, while St. John appears in devotion at the side. The work demonstrates strong academic technique, with attention to facial modeling, drapery, and luminous skin tones. Presented in a mid 20th century frame, the canvas itself bears signs of age consistent with 19th-century originas. 32 in. H, 32 in. W, 2 in. D
