About this work

Description

Translation of lettering: Why does the mother concentrate on her son with a fixed gaze? And why is the foster-father attentively present with his apples? Neiher is sated with your face, Jesus, for the greatest pain is to be absent from your face.

Cur Genitrix fixis in natum obtutibus haeret? / Curq(ue) suis pomis sedulus Altor adest? / Nempe tuo vultu neuter satiatur, Iesu, / Nam dolor a facie summus abesse tua. Jo. Baptista Paggius patr. Genuensis picturae studiosus pinxit. Jo. Baptista Barbe sculpsit et excudit.
