"Madonna in flower wreath", oil on canvas, within golden coeval wooden frame. In this work most likely destinated for private devotion, the garland surrounding the Madonna is made up of flowers (roses, tulips, daffodils and violets), some of which, such as the fruit of St. Joseph's garland (grapes, cherries, figs, plums , nespole, pomegranate) can be interpreted in symbolic terms; However, their decorative function prevails, as is a bunch of fresh flowers offered to the Madonna. Condition: The pictorial surface has many small restorations without compromising the rendering of the painting, 43,5x31,8 cm.
