This print shows three figures in a dimly lit room. A woman in flowing robes holds a small child, while another woman in a fancy dress reaches toward them. A bust of an old man sits on a ledge below, and heavy curtains frame the scene. The text below says this is based on a painting by Parmigiano, but it’s actually a print made later by John Samuel Agar. The soft shadows and smooth lines give it a dreamy, old-fashioned look. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
