This tender image of the Virgin and Child is the finest surviving copy of a lost prototype painted by Bouts near the end of his life. Among fifteen other examples, it is set apart by the high quality of its landscape background and the subtlety of its modeling. The Child plays with the big toe on his right foot, a gesture that could have implied an invitation to the viewer to follow in Christ’s footsteps. In his left hand he holds a pink, which also had symbolic meaning, since the Greek name for this flower, dianthose, means "flower of God."
