The Madonna, Child, and Angels Entering the Boat is a 1753 ink by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a boat on water with three figures inside. One person, maybe a woman, holds a child while another stands beside her. A third figure, possibly an angel, leans on a staff. Tall trees and a sky with wavy lines fill the background. The artist used fine lines to show light and movement, especially in the water and clouds. The scene looks calm but full of quiet energy. Check out how this was made using etching.
