This 1582 engraving by Agostino Carracci, titled "Heilige Familie met de heilige Catharina van Alexandrië en de heilige Antonius," depicts the Holy Family with Saint Catherine of Alexandria and Saint Anthony. The composition is arranged in a classical manner, with the figures grouped in a pyramid shape. Mary and the Christ Child are seated in the center, flanked by Saint Joseph and Saint Anthony. Saint Catherine is depicted in the foreground, sitting with a boar at her feet, an attribute often used to represent her martyrdom. This piece is currently in the Rijksmuseum and exemplifies Carracci's mastery of drawing and printmaking.
