The Virgin and Child with Saints

Domenico Campagnola

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts several figures in a detailed engraving style. The central figure is a robed woman holding a child. The child has curly hair and is facing the viewer. To the left stands another figure in robes holding a staff, and to the right, a woman is kneeling. Two bearded men stand behind them, one reading a book aloud. All figures wear draped garments suggesting a historical or religious theme. A large tree with a dense canopy is in the background, along with the silhouette of a cross. In the bottom right corner, there is a signature that reads "Dominicus a Compagnola."
