La Vierge de douleurs 1605 - 1650

"La Vierge de douleurs" (The Virgin of Sorrows) is an etching by the French artist Jean Morin (1605–1650). The piece, depicting the Virgin Mary in a state of sorrow, is a powerful and evocative portrayal of a central figure in Christian faith. The etching is done in a realistic style, with a strong focus on detail and the rendering of fabric and anatomy. Mary's solemn posture and the deeply furrowed brow are central to the image, capturing the essence of grief and devotion. The artwork is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
