The Virgin

Gabriel Ehinger after Johann Heinrich Schönfeld

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper half of a person's body in a three-quarter view, slightly turned to the left. They have long hair that falls over their shoulders, partially covered by a draped garment. The person is wearing a long-sleeved garment with folds apparent around the chest and arm areas, and one hand is delicately placed on their chest while the other hand rests lower, grasping a part of the garment. The background features a textured, diagonal hatching pattern.
