This print shows the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus. Gold halos glow around their heads. Mary’s dark robe covers a simple, flat-looking dress. The colors stay bright even in shadows. The faces look flat, not real. But the gold in the background gives a heavenly feel. The artist painted this in a folk style. Look up Theofilos (Hadjimichail) (1870 or 1871 - 1934) to see more.
