Italienerinde smykker et madonnabillede med guirlande 1781 - 1881

"Italienerinde smykker et madonnabillede med guirlande" (Italian Woman Adorns a Madonna Image with Garlands) is a drawing by Danish artist Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann, created between 1781 and 1881. The work depicts a woman in traditional Italian dress adorning a framed image of the Virgin Mary and Child with a garland. The drawing is a study for a larger painting, demonstrating Baumann's interest in capturing everyday life and religious imagery. The delicate lines and shading create a sense of intimacy and reverence for the subject. This work, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers insight into Baumann's artistic process and her fascination with Italian culture.
