Many feature outdoor settings that reflect the artist’s extraordinary ability to render topographical details, such as tufts of grass, which he observed from nature. In these intimate compositions of 1503 and 1513, Dürer incorporates the tradition of depicting the Virgin humbly seated on the ground while nursing or cradling her infant son; a simple fence refers to an enclosed garden, which was interpreted as a symbol of the Virgin’s purity.

\r\n

Although Dürer lavishes considerable attention on the Virgin’s voluminous drapery folds in both prints, there is a shift toward a more monumental conception of the human figure in the later engraving, which also expands the scene to incorporate a panoramic seascape with distant mountains.
