Holy Family and Four Saints is a 1739 ink by John Baptist Jackson, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a group of people gathered around a baby. The baby is sitting on a woman's lap, and she's surrounded by other adults and a child. They're all wearing robes, and the scene looks very formal. The painting is done in shades of brown and gray, which gives it a pretty somber feel. It's clear that the artist was trying to create a sense of drama and importance. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to check out the Baroque movement.
