The Holy Family

Niederländische Grafik 1623–1701, 1620–1623

Three figures are depicted in the image. In the center, a woman is seated and leaning slightly to the left, cradling a swaddled child. Next to her is a man with a beard, looking at the child. The woman has soft, defined facial features and her hair appears to be styled backward. The man has more rugged facial features with pronounced lines. Both individuals are dressed in flowing garments in brown and black. The child's face is visible with closed eyes and a rounded face. The background has a simple, textured pattern. No jewelry or extraneous objects are visible around them.
