Virgin and Child, with Saints Anthony and Catherine 1600 - 1660

Giacomo Cavedone's "Virgin and Child, with Saints Anthony and Catherine" (1600-1660) is an etching depicting the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, surrounded by Saints Anthony and Catherine. The composition is balanced, with the figures arranged in a symmetrical manner. The use of delicate lines and shading creates a sense of depth and realism. The etching's subject matter reflects the Catholic devotion to the Virgin Mary and the saints. This print is currently held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
