Virgin and Angels, a Key Stone in York is a 1829 ink by Maria Denman, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman with a crown standing in the center, holding her hands together. Around her are three angels with wings—two standing on either side and one kneeling below. The background has a glowing, sunburst effect behind the woman’s head. The artist used a simple line style to keep the focus on shapes and movement. The angels’ flowing robes and the woman’s calm pose suggest a peaceful, holy scene. Check out how this was made using lithography.
