        "description": "This image is among D\u00fcrer\u2019s most sorrowful depictions of the Virgin and Child. In contrast to earlier engravings of the subject, D\u00fcrer presents them as monumental figures. Here, the Virgin sits on a large cushion and pensively cradles a tightly swaddled Christ Child. His wrappings, closed eyes, and stiff appearance evoke his future death and his burial shroud, emphasizing the outcome of his Passion as well as Mary\u2019s foreknowledge of the events. D\u00fcrer draws attention to the Virgin\u2019s holiness by rendering her halo as a white orb that radiates shafts of light over the earth. D\u00fcrer\u2019s sculptural molding of the figures and his extensive use of middle tones to create dimension demonstrates his constantly evolving style and command of the medium in his late career.",
