We are trying to determine who this painting would be of.

Art Work

It's in the Mini Masterpieces Holy Cards from CHC.

It's a portion of Raphael's Madonna of the Goldfinch.

I greatly appreciate it.

What kind of search did you use? I normally am very adept at searching, the best I could do was the one I posted. So I was missing something from the search.

I have several cards we'd like to identify and see the full picture of. DD8 thought it was fascinating to see that it was only part of the picture.

Well, it was really a backwards way of finding it...

I went to your link and looked at the picture and the link URL. I tried several searches that came up with nothing. Then I noticed the word "mignon" is in the URL, so I thought the painting might be by a French artist. It looked Renaissance to me. So I googled "french art catholic renaissance." Someone's copy of the painting came up in the search results and mentioned Raphael as the original. So then I just had to search Raphael's paintings.
