Sebald Beham's "Die Madonna auf der Mondsichel mit einem knienden Ritter als Stifter" is a detailed drawing depicting the Virgin Mary holding the infant Christ, with a kneeling knight in the foreground. The composition is framed in a circular format, a common style in 16th-century German art. The knight's posture suggests a devotion to the divine figures above, and the artwork exemplifies the Renaissance interest in realistic portrayals of religious subjects.
