Holy Family with Young St. John the Baptist 1620 - 1670

This etching, "Holy Family with Young St. John the Baptist," depicts the Virgin Mary seated with the infant Jesus, who gestures towards St. John the Baptist. Created by Grégoire Huret, a French artist, between 1620 and 1670, this piece is characteristic of Baroque style, using dramatic chiaroscuro and dynamic compositions. The artwork, which is currently located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, displays the artist's skilled use of line and shading, highlighting the emotion of the Holy Family and the young St. John.
