Madonna and Child is a 1769 ink by Jacobus Buys, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a woman holding a sleeping baby. She’s dressed in soft, flowing clothes and looks peaceful. Around them is a wreath of flowers and leaves, framing the scene like a border. The artist used only shades of brown, giving it a warm, earthy feel. The flowers look delicate but are drawn with careful detail. Next, check out etching to see how artists create prints like this.
