"Portrait Study of the Young Christ Child Seated with a Crown of Thorns on His Lap" is a notable work by the Spanish Baroque painter Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created during the 17th century. This artwork is a devotional piece that reflects the religious and cultural milieu of the period, showcasing Murillo's skill in capturing the innocence and divine nature of the Christ Child. The painting depicts a young Jesus Christ seated, contemplatively holding a crown of thorns, a symbol of his future passion and crucifixion. The work is imbued with a sense of foreshadowing and pathos, as it juxtaposes the purity of youth with the foreknowledge of Christ's destiny.

Murillo is renowned for his religious compositions and his ability to convey tender human emotion, particularly in his representations of children and the Holy Family. This portrait study exemplifies Murillo's mastery of chiaroscuro, the dramatic use of light and shadow, to emphasize the ethereal quality of the subject. The soft, diffused lighting highlights the child's gentle features and the texture of the crown, creating a poignant contrast between the two.

The painting is a testament to Murillo's artistic legacy and his influence on the development of religious iconography in Spanish art. It continues to be studied for its technical prowess and its emotional impact, contributing to the understanding of Baroque art and its devotional practices. The exact location of the original painting, its provenance, and its critical reception over time would require further research to provide a complete historical context for this significant work by Murillo.
