Prix régulier €160

A beautiful antique French miniature painting dating to the early 20th century. The hand painted portrait features Virgin Mary and Jesus child after the masterpiece of the painter Pierre Mignard the Elder (French, 1612 - 1695): The Virgin of the Grapes. It has been signed J Canova. 
The fine work of art is protected by a glass pane and mounted in a medallion that you can hung on the wall or to a cradle. I guess that to be a crib medallion was its first use. Indeed medallions used to be used by mother to protect their little children and mother used to hang the protector medal on the crib of their baby. This antique crib protector medal would be a great birth gift.

Good antique condition with some signs of ages.
Please take a close look at the photos, they are an integral part of the description.
