The two authentic versions of The Virgin of the Rocks (Vergine delle Rocce) are major Renaissance masterpieces:

Both are large (roughly 78 × 48 inches / ~199 × 122 cm), painted in oil on wood (later transferred or on poplar), and depict the full scene of the Virgin, infant Christ, infant St. John the Baptist, and an angel in a rocky grotto. They are museum-held, culturally priceless works that would be valued in the hundreds of millions if they ever entered the private market (they will not).

What you have

This is a small decorative reproduction (likely mid-to-late 20th century) of a detail of the Virgin’s face and upper body. It has a textured surface meant to evoke an old painting, set in an ornate carved wooden frame with gold accents and a linen-style liner. The brass plaque clearly reads “THE VIRGIN OF THE ROCKS / da Vinci.” The back has a commercial sticker (“Ba / CREATIVITY IN US ALL!”) and standard hanging hardware. From the measuring tape in your photos, the framed piece is roughly 15–17 inches tall.

Very similar textured, plaque-labeled, ornate-framed reproductions of this exact detail appear regularly as decorative/vintage pieces. One recent auction listing of a nearly identical item (same plaque style, textured finish, ornate gilt frame, ~15.5 × 17.5 inches overall) had an estimate of $70–$140.

Estimated value

As a decorative framed reproduction: typically $50–$200 on the secondary market (eBay, estate sales, auctions), depending on condition, exact size, and local demand. The ornate frame adds most of the appeal; the artwork itself is a common mass-produced or studio-style copy. New comparable hand-painted or high-quality printed versions of the full composition or details sell in a wide range, but small framed decorative pieces like yours stay in the low hundreds or less.

Suggested Title (for listing or cataloging)

Framed Reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Virgin of the Rocks” (Detail of the Madonna) – Ornate Carved Wooden Frame with Brass Plaque

Suggested Description

A decorative framed reproduction showing a detail of the Virgin Mary from Leonardo da Vinci’s Renaissance masterpiece The Virgin of the Rocks. The image captures the Madonna with softly modeled features, downcast eyes, and flowing hair in the characteristic sfumato style. It is presented on a textured surface within an ornate carved wooden frame featuring gold accents and a beige linen-textured liner. A small brass plaque beneath the image reads “THE VIRGIN OF THE ROCKS da Vinci.”

Approximate framed size is about 15–17 inches high (confirm exact measurements). The reverse shows hanging hardware and a commercial sticker. Suitable as religious or Renaissance-inspired home decor. This is a modern or vintage reproduction and is not an original work by Leonardo da Vinci.

Condition notes (from photos): frame shows age-related wear, cracks, and finish loss typical of older decorative pieces; artwork surface appears intact with visible texture.

This is a common type of decorative art piece rather than a museum-quality hand-painted oil or high-end limited print.
