Madonna and the Child with St. Anne
by Leonardo da Vinci, 16th Century AD.
St. Anne was Virgin Mary's mother. She sits in her mother's lap while trying to pick up her son, Jesus who is playing with a lamb--the sacrificial lamb--symbol of sacrifice of Jesus for Mankind.
After having painted Mona Lisa, all the figures of Leonardo had the beguiling smile. The endless mountains and the smile are his signature marks.
