The Madonna and Child with Saint Anne is a 1460 ink by Master of St. Sebastian, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In the foreground, a woman sits with a child on her lap. The woman wears a long robe and a head covering, while the child is naked. The woman's right hand supports the child, and her left hand holds a cloth. The child reaches up with both hands. The background features a landscape with trees, hills, and a body of water. A castle and a church are visible in the distance. The scene is rendered in black and white, with detailed cross-hatching creating texture and depth. The engraving technique is evident in the intricate lines and shading. Explore more Renaissance art at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
