ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Madonna and Child is a 1460 ink by Master of the Dutuit Mount of Olives, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a woman, likely the Madonna, seated on a bench with a child, presumably Jesus, in her lap. The woman's long hair flows down her back, and she wears a halo, a headband, and a long robe. The child, also wearing a halo, is dressed in a simple garment and appears to be holding an object. The scene is set against a plain background, with the woman and child positioned in the center of the composition. The artist's use of lines and shading creates a sense of depth and texture, adding to the overall visual impact of the piece.
