Madonna and Child

Hans Baldung Grien

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman holding a child. The woman is standing and facing the child, with long flowing hair and a crown. She is wearing a gown and a cloak. The child has curly hair and a gentle expression. Cherubs are seen around them, interacting with architectural elements. A man is kneeling next to the woman, holding a book. In the background, there are clouds, columns, and an older person looking out of a window. A book is placed on the ground.
