The Madonna of the Lillies

The poses of Mary and Jesus match the painting Queen of the Angels, another painting by Bouguereau of a similar theme.

The position of the halos also mirror the painting Pieta, the only difference being the age and facial expressions of Mary and Jesus

The Virgin Mary is depicted in a seated position, perhaps on the Throne of Wisdom. She is carrying the Christ Child whose arms are stretched out, as if giving a blessing. Lilies are used to symbolize Mary's purity and innocence, and thus are regularly depicted with her, especially during paintings of the Annunciation.

This painting measures 27 cm × 18.5 cm (11 in × 7.3 in) and is owned by a private collector.
