Madonna and Child Seated on Clouds (recto); Madonna and Child in Reverse (verso) 1637 - 1700

This drawing, created by Spanish artist Vicente Salvador Gómez between 1637 and 1700, depicts the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child seated on clouds. The composition is typical of the Madonna and Child theme, with the figures arranged in a tender embrace. The use of hatching and shading creates a sense of volume and depth, highlighting the soft folds of Mary’s drapery. The presence of a small angel in the upper left corner adds a celestial dimension to the scene, further emphasizing the divine nature of the subject. The artwork is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
