Virgin and Child with the Apple

Early Engravers, c. 1470/1475

The image features a woman standing and holding a child in her arms. The woman is upright, slightly bending her head towards the child. Her facial features are softly detailed with a serene expression, and her hair is long and wavy, cascading over her shoulders. She wears a flowing gown with elaborate folds and an ornate design. The child rests in her arms, facing forward, with curly hair, wearing a simple garment. The woman holds the child gently, supporting him with both hands. The background is plain, with no distinct scenery or objects.
