The Holy Family is a 1613 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, depicting Holy Family, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a family with a baby, likely a scene from the Bible. It's a simple scene, but the details are interesting. The family is dressed in old clothes, and the baby is playing with a ball. The artist used a lot of lines to create texture and depth, which was a common technique at the time. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: engraving.
