Simone Cantarini

Artist, Pesarese, 1612 - 1648

The image shows a man kneeling on a ledge with one knee touching the ground. He is holding a small child in his arms, both facing each other. The man has short, curly hair and a calm expression, wearing a robe with a hood and a dog collar tied at the waist. Winged cherubs or angels surround him in clouds. Some cherubs interact, while one holds a branch with flowers. Swirling clouds fill the background, and a book rests near the man's robe on the step.
