Description:
A traditional Lactation composition from 1510-20. The half-figures of the kneeling Bernard with his hands folded in prayer and a crozier leaning against his left shoulder and the Virgin with the Child in her arms are behind a sill. The Virgin presses her left breast with her right hand so as to give Bernard her milk. Bernard has 'tuft'. Very similar to PA073.
