Maria geeft Christus de borst 1798 - 1837

"Maria geeft Christus de borst" (Mary Gives Christ the Breast) is a small-scale drawing (75 mm x 72 mm) executed by Dutch artist Ernst Willem Jan Bagelaar between 1798 and 1837. The drawing depicts the Virgin Mary breastfeeding the infant Jesus, a common subject in religious art, rendered with a delicate touch and subtle shading in brown and grey tones. This sketch is likely a study for a larger painting, showcasing Bagelaar's mastery of anatomical detail and the representation of intimate moments in a religious context.
