From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Alba Madonna is a 1827 ink by Auguste-Gaspard-Louis Baron Desnoyers, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a woman holding a small child while another child kneels beside her. She wears a draped robe and a headscarf, and the kids look soft and rounded. Behind them is a quiet landscape with hills, trees, and a distant village. The title at the bottom, *La Vierge de la Maison d’Albe*, hints this is a religious scene, likely Mary with Jesus. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, giving it a detailed look. Next, check out how engraving works to see how this print was made.
