Virgin and Child
1450
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Virgin and Child is a 1450 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a woman holding a baby. She has long red-brown hair and wears a dark blue robe over a lighter dress. The baby is bare-chested, wearing a necklace of red beads and a white cloth wrapped around its waist. The woman’s face is calm, with soft shadows under her eyes. The baby looks slightly chubby, with a curious expression. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how light and shadow create depth.
