Head of the Madonna 1780

Heinrich Sintzenich's "Head of the Madonna" is a 1780 print depicting the Virgin Mary in an oval frame. The print uses a sepia tone, which evokes a sense of solemnity and tradition. The work, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies Sintzenich's ability to capture the emotional depth of religious figures through delicate linework and shading. The piece is a testament to the enduring popularity of devotional art in the 18th century.
