The Holy Family with Saint John the Baptist

About this work

This black-and-white print shows a quiet indoor scene with three figures. A seated woman holds a baby on her lap while a child kneels beside her. Behind them, a window opens to a simple outdoor view with a tree and a small hill. The figures are drawn with strong, textured lines that show their clothing folds and faces clearly. The artist used shading and cross-hatching to create depth, making the figures look three-dimensional. The window scene feels like a separate picture inside the picture, adding another layer to the composition. Try looking up etching to see how this technique works.
