Virgin and Child Maria with child, On a seemingly stone-carved plinth with ditto elevation, Maria sits leaning slightly backwards and with the upper body slightly turned to the right. With one hand she holds back the naked child jumbling above her left leg, while with the right she holds up a book from which she reads. Her head is used to the direction of the book. The child, with the right leg forward and the left back, grasps the right hand of Mary's right breast, which comes through a split in her robe. His smiling face with a somewhat playful naughty expression is directed towards this. Maria's wavy hair, held together on the head by two bands and on the back of the head by a cloth, is tied together in the neck and then falls apart on the back. She wears a robe that is trimmed at the neck with a wide band and is held together by a belt around the waist. Her cloak falls over the left shoulder, runs through her elbow on her right-hand side under a large arch and is bent over the knees to the right, releasing the toes. The slipped veil hangs on the right shoulder, the split for the breast shows a button below and above, Mary sitting or enthroned, the Christ-child on her knee (Christ-child to Mary's left), Meester van de Lastige Kinderen (attributed to), Florence, c. 1500 - c. 1525, terracotta (clay material), h 55.5 cm × w 30.0 cm
