This 17th-century engraving by Jean Boulanger, titled "The Virgin seated with the infant Christ on her lap, the young Saint John the Baptist kneeling on Christ's cradle and kissing his foot, a lamb at right, after Reni," depicts a traditional Christian scene. The Virgin Mary, in a rich robe, cradles the infant Jesus while Saint John the Baptist kneels and kisses his foot. This devotional image, influenced by Guido Reni's painting, is a testament to the enduring artistic appeal of biblical themes and the reverence for these figures. The engraving, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the refined techniques of the Baroque era.
