Dear Rolf,

what about "Nozze di Cana" by Benvenuto Tisi da Garofalo? The baby is 
not in a cradle, but it is definitely a very small baby, and "niemowle z 
kolyski" could mean not the place the baby is looking from, but simply 
its age. The baby from this picture looks like an infant Christ 
(Dzieciatko) taken straight  out of a cradle.
