Maria met kind, Josef luistert naar een engel 1500 - 1510

This anonymous drawing from the early 16th century depicts a scene from the life of the Holy Family. The Virgin Mary, sitting under a tree, holds the Christ Child in her lap, while Saint Joseph listens to an angel. The setting is a peaceful landscape, with a distant village and a castle in the background. The delicate, detailed lines of the drawing capture the tenderness of the moment, as the infant Jesus reaches out towards his father. This drawing offers a glimpse into the devotional art of the early Renaissance.
