Holy Family with St. Margaret is a 1850 by Giuliano Traballesi, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a group of five figures in a dim, wooded setting. A woman holds a baby while a young girl kneels beside her, reaching out. Two older men stand nearby, one with a staff and the other holding a scroll. Behind them, a winged figure floats near the trees. The woman’s face looks calm, but the girl’s posture suggests curiosity or wonder. The lighting is soft, with shadows defining the faces and clothing. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this strong contrast between light and dark works.
A print on paper depicts the Holy Family alongside Saint Margaret, rendered after a composition by Parmigianino and attributed to Giuliano Traballesi from around 1850.
