Die Heilige Familie

Deutsche Grafik 1750–1790, 1770er-Jahre

The image shows a sketch with three figures: a man, a woman, and an infant. The man stands slightly to the left, the woman is seated, and the infant is held between them. The man has curly hair and a beard, wearing a loose garment. The woman has long facial features, wearing a headscarf and draped garment. The infant faces forward with outstretched arms. The setting is suggested to be traditional or historical, with expressive lines and a simple blue backdrop. In the top right corner, there is a smaller sketch of a female bust. The scene is depicted in soft dark shades, resembling a sketch or study, with undefined backgrounds.
