Virgin and Child with Young Saint John the Baptist

After a composition by Francisco Beccerril Spanish

Not on view

The composition featuring the Virgin (whose head is missing) with the Christ child and Saint John the Baptist would have been set on the back side of a silver cross, at the intersection of its two arms. The figural position is a separate element that has been attached to a wreathed backing, in a technique known from other Beccerril works.
