Virgin Mary 

This is a depiction of the Virgin Mary, painted by the Italian artist Domenico Ghirlandaio, who was prominent in the late 15th century. While the exact date is unknown, it is likely from this period of his career, known for its realist style and attention to detail. The soft, almost mournful expression and delicate features of Mary convey her piety and humility. The painting, now in the Musée Bonnat in Bayonne, France, showcases Ghirlandaio's masterful use of light and shadow, capturing the subtle folds of the Virgin's veil and the softness of her skin.
