The Virgin and Child with the Infant St John the Baptist is one of the most important works painted by Zurbarán, two years before his death. This composition reveals the evolution of his style in Madrid, where he had private patrons and his works differed considerably from those made in his workshop in Seville, where he relied on the collaboration of assistants.
This peaceful scene before a neutral background shows similarity to the Madonna paintings by Murillo.
