Lucas van Leyden’s *Maria met kind* (1513-1517) depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ child. The print is a prime example of Northern Renaissance art, featuring detailed and expressive line work, intricate patterns, and a focus on realistic depiction. A decorative garland above Mary's head adds to the work's sumptuous aesthetic. The artwork is currently held in the Rijksmuseum.
