Maria 1847

"Maria" is a lithograph created in 1847 by Hyacinthe-Louis-Victor-Jean-Baptiste Aubry-Lecomte. The artwork is a portrait of the Virgin Mary, depicted in a somber, contemplative pose. The subject's downcast eyes and clasped hands evoke a sense of piety and sorrow. Aubry-Lecomte's mastery of detail is evident in the delicate rendering of Mary's features and the soft folds of her drapery. This lithograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of religious devotion in a single image.
