An antique 18th century Italian painting depiting the figure of the infant Christ as Salvator Mundi, in a cloudy sky, loosely draped, holding the celestial globe in His left hand and a crucifix in the right hand.

With His right foot he subdues the head of a winged dragon that seems to have a resigned look.

The painting represents the victory of Faith over evil, a matter underlined by the Light  illuminating Christ Child  contrasting the darkness of the background.

The painting’s  canvas  has been professionally relined and shows old restorations, consistent with age and use. Later canvas cleaning and revarnishing improve the  good  age related condition of this Italian artwork, dating back to  back to mid-18th century.

Framed with an original linear  silver-leaf wooden frame of the same period.
