Albrecht Dürer

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a woman seated on a stone holding a child in her lap. The woman has delicate features, long flowing hair, and a serene expression. She wears a detailed gown. The child has curly hair and is dressed in simple clothing. Two winged angels hover above, holding crowns. In the background, there is a rustic fence, hills, and trees. An object with inscriptions is near the woman's feet. The scene conveys tranquility and reverence.
