The composition of this small roundel of the Virgin suckling the Christ Child was very popular: it derives from a composition by Robert Campin that was disseminated through workshop patterns. Memling enriched the prototype by adding an extended wooded landscape. Roundels like this were often hung above the heads of beds, where they served as a blessing over a married couple or as a focus for personal prayer. The frame and painted image are carved from a single piece of wood.
