The Holy Family with Saint Sebastian and Saint Roch

About this work

This woodcut shows five figures in a forest setting. A woman sits on the ground holding a baby, while a child kneels beside her. Two men stand nearby—one holds a staff and leans on a tree, the other points upward with a gentle gesture. In the background, a town sits on a hill, and branches twist around the scene. The artist used sharp lines and shading to create depth, focusing on the figures’ expressions and gestures. Notice how the trees frame the group, almost like a stage.
