This painting shows a woman in a red robe and gold dress kneeling before a woman in a pink dress holding a baby. The kneeling woman has a crown and her hands are together in prayer. The baby is reaching out to her. There is a man sitting behind the woman in pink, looking at the baby. He has a halo and is wearing an orange robe. The background is dark with some columns and a painting on the wall. There are also angels in the sky. The woman in pink is Mary, the mother of Jesus, and the baby is Jesus. The kneeling woman is Saint Catherine, who is having a vision of Jesus and Mary. The man behind Mary is Saint Joseph, the husband of Mary. Look up the artist Lavinia Fontana.
