The Virgin with a Starry Crown

Albrecht Dürer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Virgin Mary with long wavy hair and a crown on her head, wearing a dress, holds the baby Jesus in her arms. She looks down at the baby. The baby has one hand on Mary's chest and the other on her dress. A halo of lines surrounds both figures. The background is light-colored with darker shading around the halo. The date "1508" and a stylized letter "A" are in the bottom-right corner.
