The Virgin and Child

The Virgin and Child
by Bernaert de Ryckere
Oil on panel, 66 x 50 cm
Private collection

Squishy Jesus does his best Statue of Liberty while a flabby, 40ish Saint John the Baptist simultaneously grasps his cross.

It looks like hair is sticking up on Jesus's head, but really it's post-halo radiance.

What's up with rocking cradle thingy Jesus is standing on?
