Christmas or Baptizing Gift

An original drawing by Dutch artist Paula Kuitenbrouwer, owner of www.paulakuitenbrouwer.com.

The coloured pencil drawing contains three mini pencil drawings inspired by classical works: Raphael’s Madonna with Baby Jesus, Raphael’s Angels, and Guido Reni’s St. Joseph with the Infant Jesus. These pieces highlight the reverence for Baby Jesus and the significance of Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus, rendered in warm Renaissance reds and blues.

The mini paintings appear as baubles hanging from green-red fabric strings, tied in a knot.

Notice how Baby Jesus’s legs hang outside the left bauble, while Raphael’s angels seem slightly indifferent to Baby Jesus receiving all the attention.

A meaningful gift for christenings, communions, confirmations, or baptisms, or as a decorative and cherished present.

Original size: 14 by 20 inches (36 by 51 cm). Frame it with your preferred frame!
