"The Madonna and Child with an Apple" is an engraving by the German artist Martin Schongauer, dating from around 1475. The artwork depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ child, who is offering an apple to viewers. This motif refers to the original sin and its redemption through Christ. Schongauer was a leading figure in the development of printmaking during the Late Gothic period, known for his detailed engravings and fine linework. The piece is now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
