The painting is based on the work “La Madonna del riposo” (The Madonna of Rest) painted on wood by Ferruzzi Roberto in 1897. With this painting, the painter won at the second Venice Biennale.
The models for the painting were the Venetian girl Angelina Cian, 11 years old, and her little brother Giovanni.
