The artist Pinac, in the painting "The Virgin with the Child," depicted a beautiful interior. The picture is now in Turin. The child is small, rather of a microcephalic type, with a decidedly mature expression on its face. The picture gives one a good idea of the care of infants in the houses of the better class. Heat and ample ventilation are afforded by the open fire, and the whole scene indicates cleanliness and well being.
