The Virgin Crowned by Two Angels

Albrecht Dürer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Virgin Mary sits on a stone block, wearing a long dress and a headband, with curly hair. She holds the infant Jesus on her lap, wearing a diaper-like garment; he holds an object to his mouth. Two angels float above her, both wearing long dresses and having large wings. The angel on the left holds a crown with both hands, while the angel on the right supports it with their right hand. Behind them, a fence made of thin branches and posts is visible. In the background, a landscape with hills, grass, and a body of water can be seen. A small stone block with the date "1518" and the artist's initials "AD" is placed in front of the Virgin. The entire scene is depicted in grayscale.
