Pietà, in ink on paper, by Mainie Jellett, 1936.

A seated Virgin and the body across her lap are broken into interlocking planes of black, grey and bare buff paper, set inside a great arch of concentric bands. The figures are read by rhythm: a head under the arch, a lap, one long diagonal. Jellett trained with Lhote and Gleizes and carried their cubist method into Christian subjects through the 1930s; this ink drawing is signed at the lower right, on a sheet about 35.5 × 25.5 cm. This work is in the collection of the National Gallery of Ireland.
