The Virgin and Child with St Anne is a 1515 oil by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a Northern Renaissance work, held at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
This painting shows three women and a baby. The woman on the right wears a white headscarf and a red and green robe. She holds a baby in her left arm. The woman on the left is younger and wears a black dress with a gold necklace. She reaches out with her right hand to touch the baby's left foot. The background is a dark blue wall. The women are dressed in flowing robes with intricate folds. The baby is naked except for a white cloth wrapped around his waist. The women's faces are serene and gentle. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume. You can explore more of Lucas Cranach the Elder's works.
