The Virgin and Child, commonly known as The Northbrook Madonna after the Northbrook Collection in England, is a painting by the Italian artist Timoteo Vitian (1469–1523), dated to about 1505; it has previously been attributed to Domenico Alfani. The painting is in the permanent collection of the Worcester Art Museum in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA, to which it was bequeathed in 1940.[1]

The picture shows the seated Virgin wearing a red blouse and a dark blue skirt, supporting the naked Christ Child with her right arm, who is standing on her knee holding one of her fingers.[2]
