#Art #NGA #MadonnaWithChild

Digital collage depicting a Siamese cat Madonna, complete with halo and wrapped in a red cloak, holding her baby,. Both mother and child have cat muzzles and human bodies. The latter holds a little bird in his hand - he might proceed to eat it, or play with it, or both. The figures stand out against a sky-blue background.
