Central European school of the late 19th century. The Madonna sits on the throne, with Jesus asleep on her lap; on both sides a group of little angels, dressed as children of different ages, play instruments and sing: their concert is perhaps the lullaby that accompanies the sleep of the Divine Child. The scene is depicted painted in a marble altar, on whose balustrades the angels are placed on the sides; Behind Mary there is a lunette with a starry sky, while at her feet there is a dove and olive branches, symbols of peace.
