The Virgin Adoring Infant 1889

"The Virgin Adoring Infant" is a 1889 engraving by Timothy Cole, showcasing his masterful technique in replicating the detail of a painting by an earlier artist. This small, yet detailed print depicts the Virgin Mary seated, holding the infant Jesus who is looking up at her with adoration. Cole's skill is evident in the realistic rendering of the figures and the intricate details of the surrounding landscape. The print is a fine example of 19th-century American engraving and is now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
