This work is part of a collection of six canvases depicting the life of the Virgin, all attributed to Palomino and dated to the beginning of the 18th century. The painting represents the moment when Jesus is circumcised, with the child at the center of the composition. Saint Joseph and the Virgin, in the background, show parental anguish during the delicate moment, and the scene is enclosed within an architectural frame and a delicate sky with subtle pinkish touches.
