Madonna and Child with St. John the Baptist

After Guercino (Giovanni Francesco Barbieri) Italian

1764–95

Not on view

The child Jesus sits on the Virgin's lap, holding a bird and looking at the young St. John the Baptist who offers a banner on his cross. In the 1760s, Bartolozzi produced a series of etchings on Guercino drawings in the British Royal Collection. These were reissued in the 1790s by John Boydell, but the lack of text here indicates that it was produced at the earlier date.
