For He So Loved the World - Sacred Heart (Sic Deus Dilexit Mundum) john marie The composition of the painting

The composition of the painting is carefully arranged

As in a kingdom they can procure all that is desired with a coin stamped with the King's effigy

two other children can be seen

wherein she implores the Dauphin of France

This piece was painted by Alonso Cano
