The Virgin and Child with the Infant Baptist

A photograph of a painting formerly owned by Prince Putbus, Rügen, catalogued by Ruland (1876) as being then in the possession of Count Friedrich von Wylich und Lottum, Berlin. The painting is a replica after Raphael’s so-called ‘Alba Madonna’ now in the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC (inv. no.1937.1.24; see RCIN 850853.a for a photograph of it).

Showing the Virgin seating on the ground and holding the Christ Child on her right leg, who reaches for the cross-staff held by the Infant Baptist who kneels down on the left.
