About this work

This engraving shows the Virgin Mary and the Christ child sitting on a throne, with Saint Anne beside them. The figures are surrounded by arches and columns, with a checkerboard floor. There are also scenes of people and animals in the background, as well as some text. The engraving has a lot of fine details, like the folds in the Virgin's robes and the texture of the stone columns. The artist used a technique called cross-hatching to create shading and depth.
