This 17th-century engraving, "Maria gekroond door Christus," depicts a scene from the Christian Bible. The Virgin Mary is seated, receiving a crown from Christ, while a dove hovers overhead. The image is thought to be by an anonymous artist, likely a copy of the original artwork "The Coronation of the Virgin" by the Italian painter Annibale Carracci. It's an oval-shaped print with a rich detail, using a dark-and-light contrast to define the figures and their clothing. This print is a testament to the enduring themes of religious art and the skillful techniques of engraving.
