This drawing shows the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus on one side. The figures look plain and human, not like old religious pictures. You can almost feel the hard times of the 1940s in their tired faces and simple clothes. The artist turns a classic scene into something real and close. On the other side she drew a rough Byzantine church in pencil. Look up Mylona, Alex (1920-2016).
