The Holy Family

About this work

The painting depicts the Holy Family in a serene setting. The Virgin Mary is seated on the left, gently holding the infant Jesus in her lap. Joseph is positioned on the right, with his head turned towards the pair. A small angel is seated on his lap, looking directly at the viewer. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and a distant landscape. The etching on laid paper showcases the artist's skillful use of lines and shading to create depth and texture. The delicate folds of the Virgin's robes and the gentle features of the infant Jesus are particularly noteworthy. This etching is a beautiful example of Baroque art, inviting the viewer to explore the works of other artists from this movement.
