"Virgin with the Child Reaching for his Toe" is a notable work by the German-born Early Netherlandish painter Hans Memling, created in the 1490s. This painting is an exquisite example of Memling's mature work, showcasing his ability to blend the influences of his mentor Rogier van der Weyden with his own distinct, softer style. The artwork depicts the Virgin Mary seated in a serene, domestic setting, holding the Christ Child who playfully reaches for his toe, a gesture that humanizes the divine figures and reflects the influence of Italian Renaissance art on Memling's work.

The painting is executed in oil on wood panel, a medium that allowed Memling to achieve fine details and a rich palette, characteristics that are evident in the delicate rendering of textures and the subtle gradations of color in the flesh tones. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the figures set against a landscape visible through a window, a common motif in Memling's work that provides depth and context to the scene.

"Virgin with the Child Reaching for his Toe" is significant for its representation of maternal affection and the intimate moment between mother and child, themes that resonated with the devotional practices of the time. The work is also notable for its technical mastery and the way it reflects the cross-cultural artistic exchanges of the period, combining Northern European attention to detail with Italianate compositional elements.

The painting is part of Memling's rich oeuvre, which includes altarpieces, portraits, and devotional diptychs, and it contributes to our understanding of the artistic developments during the Northern Renaissance. Today, the work is held in a prominent museum collection (the specific museum should be mentioned if known), where it continues to be studied and admired for its beauty and historical significance.
