The Holy Family with sleeping Jesus

Giulio Cesare ProcacciniBetween 1615 and 1619

Sforzesco Castle

Sforzesco Castle
Milan, Italy

This
  painting, of certain attribution, returns to solutions already experimented
  by the artist in other paintings, such as the foreshortening of the Child and
  the marked sentimentality that make the representation even more intimate.
  The patterns on the draperies are soft, particularly in the shaded area
  towards the bottom.
