Pedro Berruguete painted in 1.465 an excellent Virgin of the Milk, in which the Mother looks at her son and presses between the fingers 2 º and 3 º about the areola offering the nipple, of which bud milks. The Child looks at the pintor and for his mouth he slips remaining milk, It is of emphasizing the detail of a transparent veil that, under the mantle, allows to see a beautiful diademy.
In this another Pedro Berruguete's picture there are a few details that they allow to speak about the Flemish influence in our painting:
- the breastwork with a book and with fruits (cherries in this case)
- the ornamentation of the throne
- the angular cloths of the garment of the Virgin
