This work, known as the virgin of the napkin or the virgin of bethlehem, is small in size and shows the virgin mary and the child jesus, who is carried in the arms of his mother. The two figures look at the viewer, making it seem like they "feel his presence", as some authors claim, and not only because of those glances, but also because of the attitude of the child, since he "seems to want to leave the mother's arms to move into those of the person" who is before him.
