About this work

In this painting, a woman stands centrally, cradling a baby in her arms. She is flanked by two men, one on either side, each with distinct attire. The man to her left wears a green robe and holds a book, while the man to her right is dressed in a white shirt and brown pants, grasping a staff. A lamb and a dog are positioned at their feet. The woman's red cloak and white head covering draw attention, as does the serene expression on her face. The overall atmosphere of the painting exudes a sense of calm and devotion. This painting, "St Anne between St John the Baptist and St Anthony Abbot," is held at the Ashmolean Museum.
