Madonna and Child 

Gabriel von Max's "Madonna and Child" depicts a tender moment between a mother and child, a theme prevalent in art history. The soft, realistic brushstrokes and the delicate features of the subjects create a sense of intimacy. The muted color palette further enhances the sense of quiet contemplation and devotion, typical of religious artwork. This painting, while lacking a specific date, showcases the artist's mastery of depicting human emotions, a signature of his work produced between 1840 and 1915.
