Madonna and Child 

This painting by Hans Zatzka, an Austrian artist born in 1859, depicts the Madonna and Child. The artwork's soft, realistic style is characteristic of the late 19th-century academic tradition. The Virgin Mary, holding the Christ Child, is portrayed with a serene expression. The background, a lush landscape with a distant vista, is awash in soft light, creating a peaceful and reverent atmosphere. The detail of roses in the foreground adds a symbolic touch, representing love, purity, and the beauty of the Virgin Mary.
