The Newborn Child is an oil-on-canvas painting created c. 1645–1648 by the French painter Georges de La Tour, now in the Museum of Fine Arts of Rennes in France. It is sometimes thought to be a representation of the Madonna and Child (with the left-hand woman as St Anne) in the form of a genre scene — it is thus also known as The Nativity.[1]
