Español: María con el Niño sobre un globo, pisando al demonio

Un grabado muestra a la Virgen María coronada de estrellas, sosteniendo al Niño Jesús, de pie sobre un globo con una serpiente enroscada bajo sus pies. Dos putti sobre nubes la flanquean, y una luz radiante estalla detrás de las figuras. El rayado fino crea el cielo luminoso y los pliegues.

Português: Maria com o Menino sobre um globo, pisando o demônio

Uma gravura mostra a Virgem Maria coroada de estrelas, segurando o Menino Jesus, de pé sobre um globo com uma serpente enrolada sob seus pés. Dois putti sobre nuvens a ladeiam, e uma luz radiante irradia atrás das figuras. Hachuras finas e paralelas criam o céu luminoso e as dobras.
