The Virgin and Child Enthroned, Saint Jerome at lower right, Saint Francis at lower left 1720 - 1749

This etching by Anton Maria Zanetti the Elder, dated 1720-1749, depicts the Virgin Mary and Child enthroned, with Saint Jerome and Saint Francis flanking them. The figures are rendered in detailed lines, creating a sense of depth and volume. The use of a light wash of blue-green tint enhances the composition, suggesting a serene and devotional atmosphere. This artwork, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artist's skill in representing religious figures with reverence and detail.
