The print of Our Mother of Good Counsel (The Mother of Tenderness) as it is known in the West is traced to the year 1467 to Genazzano, Italy, a small town about thirty miles southeast of Rome. The Christ Child nestles close to his mother in this captivating print. The image is a half figure. The Christ Child rests on Mary's left arm, her head bends toward him, their cheeks touch tenderly. The left hand of the child gently grasps the rim of her dress, indicating the intimacy of nursing.
