Madonna med barnet ved siden 1596

Johann Freyberger's "Madonna med barnet ved siden" is a 1596 red chalk drawing depicting the Virgin Mary seated with the Christ child, flanked by two saints, likely Saint Joseph and a female saint. The composition is characterized by a balance between the figures, suggesting a harmonious and spiritual scene. Two cherubs, with delicate wings, hover above the figures. This drawing, created during Freyberger's early career, showcases his refined draftsmanship and mastery of the red chalk medium. The delicate lines and subtle shading lend the piece a sense of lightness and grace.
