Raphael: "Mother and Child". 19th-century copy, beautiful gilt frame

A 19th-century copy after Raphael's Sistine Madonna, depicting the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, accompanied by an angel on the right. The work is executed in oil on panel and displays a beautiful patina acquired over time. The Virgin's face, imbued with gentleness, echoes the iconic composition of the Renaissance master. The painting is presented in a remarkable carved and gilded wooden frame, typical of the 19th century, adorned with cherub masks in the corners and raised foliage along the border. The old gilding, worn in places, lends an authentic charm to the piece while highlighting the warm colors of the religious scene.
