Dated to around 1530 and associated with the Uffizi, the painting is described as one of the peaks of Titian’s painting.

The Virgin holds the Christ Child beside Saint Anthony, while Saint John the Baptist offers him a bunch of roses.

The roses serve as a Marian symbol and an allusion to the Passion.
