Virgin of Humility

Known as the Madonna of Humility, this type of composition is of Italian origin. Gossart's direct source of inspiration cannot be identify with certainty, it could be a relief by Donatello, or Mantegna's engraving which share some characteristics with Gossart's drawing.

The composition of the drawing is certainly by Gossart, however, some critics prefer to describe it as a copy after a lost original.
