This print shows four figures sitting close together in a rocky landscape. A woman holds a baby while another child reaches toward her. An older woman kneels beside them, looking down. The scene feels quiet and warm, with soft folds in their clothes and gentle shadows on their faces. The title at the bottom calls it *La Sainte Vierge*, which means "Holy Virgin" in French. That likely means the woman is Mary, the mother of Jesus, with the baby Jesus and another child. If you like this style, check out Baroque art next.
