"Heilige Familie met Johannes de Doper en Hl. Lucia" is an etching by Italian artist Vespasiano Strada, dating back to the early 17th century. It depicts the Holy Family with John the Baptist and Saint Lucia, figures central to Christian iconography. The composition emphasizes the figures' heads and faces, creating a sense of intimacy. The detailed rendering of the drapery and the dramatic light and shadow effects showcase Strada's mastery of the etching technique. The print is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, offering a glimpse into the artistic trends of the era.
