The Virgin at the Column (La Vierge à la colonne) is a 1610 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is an engraving of the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus. The Virgin is standing in front of a column, wearing a long robe and a crown. The infant Jesus is looking up at her, and she is holding him in her arms. The engraving is done in a detailed and intricate style, with lots of cross-hatching to create shading and texture. The overall effect is one of elegance and refinement. If you're interested in learning more about this style of engraving, you might want to look up the artist Callot, Jacques.
