The Virgin and Child with Saints is a 1517 ink by Domenico Campagnola, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a group of figures in a wooded setting. A woman holds a baby while standing, and two other figures kneel or stand nearby. Trees and bushes fill the background, drawn with lots of lines to show texture. The figures look calm, with soft folds in their robes. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth, especially in the clothing and foliage. This kind of detailed linework is typical of Renaissance prints. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made prints with metal plates.
