Ornament with Foliage and a Child in the Center

Heinrich Aldegrever

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of foliage interwoven with a cherubic figure. The scene features elaborate, curling leaves with detailed veining. A cherubic figure is nestled within the leaves, its body partially obscured by the foliage. The background is densely hatched, adding depth and contrast to the design. The style appears to be indicative of the Renaissance period.
