The Holy Family

Deutsche Grafik 1750–1790, década de 1770

The image shows three figures, all of whom are depicted with their full bodies visible. The central figure is a seated woman with long hair and distinct facial features, such as a delicate nose and calm expression, while her head is covered with a draped fabric. Beside her is a bearded man standing close to her, with a cloak draped over his shoulder. In the woman’s lap sits a young child, reaching out with a joyful expression and curly hair, completely naked. Surrounding the figures is a simplified background, containing faint lines and shapes suggesting an interior space with minimal detail.
