The image above is a wood engraving print done by Albrecht Durer in 1520 titled "The Virgin with the Swaddled Child." As can been seen in the details of the image, the grainy end part of the wood is used to produce the image. This wood grain leaves a textured appearance which can be seen above, specifically in the dress of the main figure and the background. Durer was a Renaissance artist and so he did a lot of works that dealt with religious figures, a popular subject of the time. Such is the case with this work here.
