Maria med Jesus og Johannes is an oil by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting depicts a serene scene of a woman, likely Mary, cradling a baby, possibly Jesus, in her lap. To her left stands a young boy, perhaps John the Baptist, gently petting a lamb. The woman wears a pink dress with a dark blue cloak draped over her head and shoulders, while the boy is naked except for a red cloth around his waist. In the background, a distant landscape unfolds, featuring trees, buildings, and a cloudy sky. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, with the figures emerging from the shadows. The artist's skillful application of light and dark values adds a sense of drama and tension to the scene. The painting is held at the Statens Museum for Kunst.
