The Virgin with the Donors is one of Van Dyck's best pictures of the Madonna. He showed her younger here than on the other canvas in the room of the Louvre, and her face is tender and beautiful as is the chubby babe holding his hand to the man kneeling before him. This kneeling man and wife are wonderfully expressive as portraits, and charming too are the couple of little angels who hold the flowers above their heads.
