Næstekærlighed 1592

"Næstekærlighed" (1592) by Hendrick Goltzius is a brown ink and wash drawing that depicts the Virgin Mary holding two infants. The drawing showcases Goltzius's masterful use of line and shading to create a sense of depth and volume. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with Mary standing in a graceful pose. The infants, likely representing the twins of the artist, add a touch of tenderness to the image. The drawing is a testament to Goltzius's skill and is a fine example of the Dutch Mannerist style.
