"Lucas schildert Maria" is an etching created by the French artist Jean Langlois between 1659 and 1712. It depicts the artist Luke, accompanied by an ox, painting the Virgin Mary and child. The image is a classic example of Baroque style, with dramatic lighting and the use of foreshortening to create a sense of depth. Langlois was known for his religious works, and this etching is a testament to his skill as a draftsman.
