Die Heilige Sippe

Albrecht Altdorfer, in oder nach 1520

The image shows multiple figures with varying degrees of their body visible. One prominent figure on the right is seated and turned slightly away from the viewer, with a head covering and robes. Surrounding figures include a child being held by an adult with curly hair. The setting is indoors with ornate architectural elements like columns and a finely sculpted balustrade. In the background, there is a mountainous landscape with buildings. Above the main scene, small cherub-like figures are positioned on a ledge. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects used by the figures except for their attire and fabric patterns.
