Woman and Dragonfly

 

Albrecht Dürer - Madonna with the Dragonfly (1495)

.

Master of Saint Giles (ca. 1500)

Mary gazes down at her child as he delicately holds a thread, which itself entraps a dragonfly. Further reinforcing the insect's captivity, Christ uses his thumb and index finger to ensnare the winged creature, which was understood as a symbol of the devil.
