After the Virgin and Child seated by a Wall (lot 98), engraved in 1514, four years passed before Dürer again took up the subject of the Virgin and Child seated in a landscape. While the former had a slightly nervous, perhaps even disturbing quality, the present work sees a return to a more idyllic, sunny and conservative form. The motif of the two angels first appears in the etching of the Sudarium held by two Angels (lot 106). He also used it in the same context, in the same year as the present work, in a woodcut, The Virgin and Child Surrounded by many Angels (lot 113).
