This image, identified as part of the [met-images](arke:01KJJFY9F3DK7E4KKMBTKFQZEH5) folder and [met-images](arke:01KJJFY86EX43KBCASR3K0RQVY) collection, depicts a painting of the Madonna and Child by the Renaissance artist Giovanni Bellini. The Virgin Mary is shown in a blue mantle with a white veil and a red undergarment, holding the infant Christ. Both figures have faint halos. The Christ Child is nude, with curly hair, looking upwards and holding a small, round fruit, possibly a quince or an apple, in his left hand. To the left of the figures, an open window reveals a detailed landscape with rolling hills, a town featuring white buildings and a tower, and several bare trees. On the right and behind the figures, a rich red curtain is pulled back. A dark parapet or ledge runs along the bottom edge of the painting, bearing the artist's signature: "IOANNES BELLINVS".
