Detail of Madonna & Child.  This is my favourite.  Only one where Mary looks like older sister more than grown woman.
Detail of Madonna & Child.  This is my favourite.  Only one where Mary looks like older sister which she WOULD have looked like at 15 years.  So very much of what God asked of her--to stand by at the Cross witnessing the torture & disdain of her totally innocent son--the pennultimate.  Humiliation of unwed motherhood in that time & culture.  She was a &#34;baby&#34; herself when she replied she would be the handmaiden of the Lord God.  She loved God but she was also the Lady of Sorrows and our intercessor.
