Virgin and Child
1604
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Virgin and Child is a 1604 by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman holding a baby. She’s dressed in flowing robes with a head covering, and the baby looks up at her. The background is plain, with just a hint of a wall behind them. The artist used soft shading to show light and shadow, especially on the woman’s face and clothes. The lines are loose, like a quick study rather than a finished work. If you like this style, look up Baroque.
