Maria med barnet 1600 - 1700

Andreas Bodan II's "Maria med barnet" is a 17th-century drawing depicting the Virgin Mary seated with the infant Jesus. The artist utilizes hatching, a technique of drawing parallel lines to create shading, to depict the figures and their clothing. The composition is simple and traditional, with Mary and Jesus as the central focus. The drawing, crafted during Bodan's lifetime between 1656 and 1696, is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. This intimate and evocative depiction of the Madonna and Child is a testament to Bodan's skillful use of line and form.
