Antique oil on canvas painting portraying Saint Joseph with the child Jesus, as they read together from scripture. Beautiful rendering to the faces and hands. Their heads crowned with halos. White lilies are seen blossoming in the window sill, a traditional attribute of both Saint Joseph and Jesus. Remarkable emphasis to the details of the religious scene, such as the contrasting tones to emphasize of the cascading folds of cloth. Unsigned and unframed. Likely French or Austrian school. Measures 27" x 19 1/4" x 7/8" deep. In overall good antique condition, there are some painting touch ups to the edges. There is a small shallow indent in the canvas just above Joseph's halo.
