Italy, 1880 ca.

Earthenware plate, decorated in strong polychromy: the rim is adorned with the “buranello” lace motif in black, while the bottom of the plate features the figure of a hunter with his dogs. The pictorial formula is particularly rich with the usual sponging to accelerate the green coloring of the bushes and tree branches. The freehand painted figure is respectful of the Venetian tradition.

Oil on canvas, applied to panel. A very human newborn Jesus lies abandoned in his sleep, while little John venerates him by kissing his chubby little hand; resting on the white sheets of the cradle, the pastoral staff in the shape of a cross, with the band bearing the writing "Ecce Homo": the only iconographic symbol of spiritual content, it is however also proposed in smaller dimensions, appropriate to the age of the two children. The work presents some small losses of paint. Strip frame.
