This painting shows the Holy Family with a butterfly. The scene is set in an enclosed garden, which was a traditional setting for the Virgin and Child. This setting alludes to the Virgin's purity and sacred role as the mother of the Messiah. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Albrecht Dürer (German, 1471–1528)
