The painting shows the Holy Family with the Infant John the Baptist. This work is interesting because it's an engraving, which is a technique where the artist carves a design into a metal plate. The details in the engraving are very fine, which suggests that the artist was skilled at this technique. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the work of artist: Goltzius, Hendrick.
