Holy Family on the Steps 1668

Claudine Bouzonnet Stella's 1668 etching, "Holy Family on the Steps," portrays the Virgin Mary, the Christ Child, and Saint Joseph in an architectural setting. The scene shows the Holy Family on a set of steps, with a woman and a man kneeling in the foreground. The artwork, now located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, is a prime example of the artist's skill in depicting religious subjects with a sense of realism and detail.
