This 1914 engraving by Timothy Cole depicts the Holy Family, a popular subject in art history. The scene, inspired by a painting by Rembrandt, portrays Mary holding baby Jesus, while Joseph gazes upon them from a nearby chair. Cole's masterful technique, known as wood engraving, creates a sense of depth and detail through delicate lines and subtle variations in tone. This print, now in the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, is a testament to Cole's skill and the enduring power of the Holy Family theme.
