This Virgin with Child corresponds to the central panel of a small triptych. The theme is common in Flemish painting and is imitated in the workshops of the great masters who produced this and other similar small-format models for sale on the international market, where they were in high demand due to their essentially devotional nature. It is a work imported from Flanders and attributed to Adriaen Isenbrandt, a painter active in Bruges, a city where the main port of trade with Castile was located.
