This small painting, "The Holy Family with Saint Elizabeth and Saint John the Baptist", completed in 1841 by Sir David Wilkie, depicts a tender moment between Mary and Elizabeth. The figures are clothed in loose white garments, creating a feeling of harmony. The subject matter is a traditional Biblical scene, but Wilkie's style reflects his interest in everyday life, making this painting both a religious work and a genre piece. Although it's a small work, the painting is richly detailed and evocative of a peaceful moment. The artist’s signature can be seen in the bottom right corner.
