The Virgin of the Milk is a topic very common in Spain, and especially in Catalonia and the Valencian Community it is where the topic probably has the major number of pictorial representations.
The most ancient dated copy is probably, according to Trens, a miniature of 1.269 that adorns the letter of foundation of the Confraternity of the Virgin Mary and Santo Domingo of Tárrega's church (Lerida).The Virgin sat in a throne, has the aspect of a queen. For a neckline of the tunic she gives the breast to Jesus sat in her lap. The importance of the moment remains reflected by the presence of four Evangelists in the ends and for four archangels who seem to support the Virgin.
