This tondo is a characteristic work by Tommaso di Credi who specialised in scenes such as the present one destined for a domestic setting. He was a close follower of Lorenzo di Credi and in all likelihood trained in his workshop. Lorenzo's influence is visible throughout the composition, from the expansive landscape and arrangement of figures, to the pose of the Madonna and the physiognomy of the child.
