Madonna and Child at a Fountain is a 1501 ink by Master MZ, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a woman sitting on a stone ledge, holding a baby. Behind her is a small town with buildings and trees on a hill. To the right, a man leans out of a box labeled "SOI," holding a scroll. The woman’s robe is drawn in tight folds, and the background town looks like a distant stage set. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
