Description: | The mother sits up in a large bed with a canopy whilst her newly born baby is being washed. The woman next to the mother casts the baby's horoscope on a sheet on a table. The room has luxurious decoration all' antica, with a coffered ceiling. This may be a naive pastiche of Renaissance art as known through panels by Fra Carnevale from the Barberini family. The work is painted on gold leaf, then lines are drawn through the paint as in etching so that the gold is made visible | Subjects: | interior; figure; everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Unknown Æ Previously attributed to Italian (Florentine) School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8336... | Go to resource |
