# Darmstadt Madonna \(detail\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [HOLBEIN, Hans the Younger]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on limewood ## Commentary In the portrait study, Anna Meyer is shown seated, whereas here she is kneeling. In the drawing she cannot be older than 13-15, and given that the parents were married in 1513, Holbein must have been given the commission for the Madonna panel before he left for England in 1526. On his return, he revised the picture, putting Anna's hair up and tucking most of it under her chaplet. Smaller changes were made to the outline of her face, particularly to make the girl look somewhat older. ## Related artworks - [Adam and Eve]() - [Apollo and the Muses on Parnassus]() - [Charitas]() - [Charles Brandon]() - [Christ as the True Light]() - [Christina of Denmark, Ducchess of Milan \(detail\)]() - [Christina of Denmark, Ducchess of Milan]() - [Courtier of Henry VIII and his Wife]() - [Darmstadt Madonna \(detail\)]() - [Darmstadt Madonna \(detail\)]() - [Darmstadt Madonna \(detail\)]() - [Darmstadt Madonna]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
