19th century Italian Madonna textile banner with tassels. The piece is based on a famous 17th century work by the Florentine artist Carlo Dolci often referred to as the "Madonna del Dito" (Madonna of the Finger) because of how she holds her cloak. Dolci was born and educated in Florence, and is considered to be one of the greatest painters of the 17th century. His portraits focus on sacred subjects, many of whom were paintings of Mary.

The portrait was replicated as an oleograph (or chromolithograph) which is a multi-color print produced through lithography, popular from the 1860s to early 1900s to replicate oil paintings on canvas. The oleograph is mounted onto the fabric backing and framed with original woven needlework and fringe at the bottom. It is designed for wall hanging with a brass bar. The piece creates a sacred and historical work of art.
